Divorce

How do you say to someone,
This is the end?
How do you say,
You no longer need a friend?
How does love end?

Shouldn't love grow,
Get stronger day by day,
Strengthen with each caress,
And never stray?
Don't let love end.

Well, divorce is done,
No sympathy shall I shed,
Words, "I love you,"
Never meant what they said,
False love did end.

But now that it's over,
Isn't it great,
How do you say to someone,
This is the end?
How do you say,
You no longer need a friend?
How does love end?

Shouldn't love grow,
Get stronger day by day,
Strengthen with each caress,
And never stray?
Don't let love end.

Well, divorce is done,
No sympathy shall I shed,
Words, "I love you,"
Never meant what they said,
False love did end.

But now that it's over,
Isn't it great,
There's feeling returning,
I'm in search of a new mate,
Love will begin
FHow do you say to someone,
This is the end?
How do you say,
You no longer need a friend?
How does love end?

Shouldn't love grow,
Get stronger day by day,
Strengthen with each caress,
And never stray?
Don't let love end.

Well, divorce is done,
No sympathy shall I shed,
Words, "I love you,"
Never meant what they said,
False love did end.

But now that it's over,
Isn't it great,
Feeling is returning,
I'm in search of a new mate,
Love will begin.

Can relate to the sentiment of this piece, and the questions are certainly universal to anyone going through the same damnable thing.

Seems divorce was one of those ugly spirits that attacked my family with the force of leviathan, Mother and Father, all brothers and sisters, cousins, nephews etc.

All were hacked down!
Some even twice!

I am well aquainted with this horrid land and never wish to return.

Good honest construct!
Richard
