I look at you and wonder
How I was ever intimate with you
A total stranger staring at me
After years of being man and wife

A child was born out of this love
Finally grown with children of her own
Then you decided it was over
Time for you to move on

Divorce, that horrible ugly word
Now comes between the two of us
Erecting a huge wall of pain
Everything lost that was gained

Time moves on and hearts will heal
But leaves the heart skeptical
Full of scars and afraid
To ever love that way again.
