Shattered Dreams (POEM)

Such a young teen

to believe in such dreams.

A wife with a child

our life was not mild.

Two more came along

to add to the mix.

Emotional abuse and cheating,

became just a few of the tricks.

Separation and divorce,

pain and remorse,

forgiveness and healing.

Is it possible to work out new feelings?

Hopes and dreams do shatter,

anger is no playing matter.

It consumes ones inner being.

You are the target,

you are all he’s seeing.

Emotional abuse, verbal abuse,

sexual abuse, and beatings.

What has happened to those new feelings?

Separation and divorce,

pain without remorse.

No forgiveness, no quick healing, no new feelings.

Elizabeth ‘08
