Divertere, in reverse

Divorce is desolate, forbidding and bleak.
I shan’t be convinced 
It offers the freedom of which you speak.

New beginnings are impossible.
It’s a lie to think
Divorce makes healing optimal.

The truth is…

It causes endless pain.
I refuse to believe 
Divorce offers a chance to begin again –

And, when all your effort is in vain,
There’s hope in separation
When only heartache and sorrow remain.

When only heartache and sorrow remain.
There’s hope in separation
And, when all your effort is in vain,

Divorce offers a chance to begin again –
I refuse to believe
It causes endless pain.

The truth is…

Divorce makes healing optimal.
It’s a lie to think
New beginnings are impossible.

It offers the freedom of which you speak.
I shan’t be convinced 
Divorce is desolate, forbidding and bleak.
