To a New Start

Divorce, the modern day eventuality of course

One party jilted while the other’s getting love from a new source

Resulting in one half’s broken heart

While the other was monkey branching to a new start,

Like throwing fresh garbage in a can

The one that leaves stuck to her plan,

“Should have seen this coming,” one laments

While the other who strayed makes no comment

Though the Lord advises us to repent

There’s no shortage of marital discontent,

Forgotten are the words, “to give is to receive”

Perhaps for some marriages there could be a reprieve

While the lawyers have another agenda up their sleeve

In the end is happiness ever achieved?

However, this is life in the modern day

Love, life, and memories, so easily thrown away

Doesn’t matter that you begged her to stay

In this darkened world we all need to pray,

Mona Lisa on Santa’s sleigh

The December night is dark and gray

You’ve awoken from a dream as she ran away

The one who leaves is the one who pays,

Like throwing fresh garbage in a can

The one that leaves stuck to her plan.
