Shattered Soul

I wrote this for my mother-in-law when she was going through her divorce.

Can you hear me
Are you even trying
Can't you hear my screams
Please listen, I'm dying
I'm sitting here in pieces
Shattered and broken
Everwhere I look
A memory, a token
Of the times we had
When we started our life
Picture perfect image
Slashed with a knife
Wonderful home
Ripped piece by piece
Will these tears
Ever cease
I'm drowning in my misery
It's way above my head
I wish I was as before
Instead of feeling so dead
I never imagined
We would end this way
Endless nights, rivers of tears
Words I could never say
"I want a divorce"
I couldn't speak
Time stood still
I felt so weak...
I've coped with it
I face each day
Live my life
Though I hurt in every way
You may have left
But our son is still here
When I feel upset
He is always near
I'm picking up the pieces
Of a life in the past
It all went be so quickly
It happened so fast
Time has slowed down
And I'm moving on
I will be happy again
Even though you're gone
