Poem about a break up in a marriage,and its consequences…

Oh how can a man live, when love has turned away,

all he wants to give, is of himself everyday…

He asks himself why, did their fire of love go out,

to see a man cry, is this whats life all about…

To find his arms empty, and another in his bed,

he now becomes a sentry, standing outside instead…

he hears the sounds of love, tries to block his ears,

prays to any god above, but all he feels is tears…

There is a reason for everything, what happen to the laughter,

to the songs they use to sing, and of the pledge for ever after…

Where did we go wrong, as the years rolled on,

in our youth we were strong, now we no longer belong…

When the love of your life, says she’s found some one better,

she’s no longer your wife, its hard not to become bitter…

The pains of a broken heart, and a spirit that is crushed,

can weaken all body parts, and cause the blood to rush…

Where anger does dwell, ugliness’s will prevail,

throw it into hell, from your waters let it sail…

Get mastery over the evil, conquer the bad with the good,

be not a companion to the devil, show compassion to the brotherhood…

When there’s no more mountains to climb, nor any rivers to cross,

no more bridges behind, then we count what we have lost…

Now with every sunrise, I see the sky and not the clouds,

seek the truth no more lies, become humble and not proud…

Reach out for friendship, searching for love and peace,

speak words of comfort from my lips, I’m no longer on a leash…

Oh once I was lost, but now I’m found,

there is always a cost, for creatures of the ground……

    Broken can be mended but forever scared. Learning with pain gives a silver lining to the clouds.
