Haunted by these memories <br />Haunted by our past <br />Thought leaving would put me at ease <br />Should have known it wouldn't last <br />I think about the wedding cake <br />And all the wedding flowers <br />These tears are falling down my face <br />Randomly crying for hours <br />I married a man who was a boy <br />Though through love I couldn't tell <br />As time went on that boy emerged <br />And I watched as our marriage fell <br />He never put forth an effort <br />And I faked a smile <br />Thought one day he would see through it <br />But it lasted quite a while <br />Finally had to give in <br />Give up and let go <br />Walk away while it caved in <br />Left that boy so he would grow <br />Now there's no more wedding cake <br />No more wedding flowers <br />Just me and my children <br />Watching them play for hours <br />I will get through this <br />Completely let go <br />Time shall heal these wounds <br />As I watch my babies grow <br />I will do the right thing <br />And be happy once again <br />Not with him <br />But with them<br /><br />Alisha Chamberlin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-marriage-3/
