Marriage failed
by Brian Dickenson (Age: 73)
copyright 06-10-2005


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
In days gone by, how she would cry
If in curlers seen.
Those far of days, they did exist?
Or was it all a dream?

With cold cream on
The time has come to pass,
When the hair's a mess
And teeth are in a glass.

The rampant fires
That used to be, have dwindled to a spark,
As we read our books, turn our backs,
And go to sleep in the dark.

So who’s to blame?
Her, or I? A hard one to resolve,
It’s six of me and six of she
As we both evolve.

We drifted, so much flotsam
Upon the restless tide.
We didn’t even keep secrets
We had nothing left to hide.

So all that’s left are papers
Coming from the court
To put a final end to this.
But it was never what we sought.

this is sad, i hope when i'm married nothing like that will take place, it will last even into the after life. good poem

It must be so hard feeling empty and wondering why one winds up where they are, and wondering whether one's history has any meaning. This is tough and takes courage to face. However, although I don't necessarily believe that "everything happens for a reason," I do believe the events in our lives have some significance and must be part of one's path. I'm told that the unpleasant person or unasked for problems are the "buddha in disguise" and that I can learn something from them; but I have to be open to see it that way. Tough, very tough.

It is the end of the race and the arms of the one you love that make the journey worth the effort. It's so sad that we let our relationships die. By always fighting life to get ahead and not spending the quality time with one another, we will tend to end up traveling in different directions. You must always keep the goal in sight. You must make sure the goal is what both want and hope life does not lead you astray. Sorry for the loss you both have gone through, Anthony

It's sad when the flame fizzles out. You express such regret in this poem; wish it could be different for you. Thanks for sharing this.
