When you sit beside your husband
staring straight forward.
Eyes locked on anything but him
your lips quiver and that terrible word slips out.
In the phrase that so many
dread to hear.
"I want a divorce."
At that very moment
you cannot even fathom
what the future will be like.
If it will be fantastic
or terrible.
All you know is that
there is a burning ache
deep in the pit of our soul.
There was a time
where I thought I would
shrivel up and die.
Because of the sorrow
that ate away my hope.
There were days I thought
I could make it.
And days that I didn't
see a point to go on.
Then I met him.
And it was as if
the blind fold
that covered my eyes
from what truly was happiness.
Was snipped away,
and I was left standing
blinking in the bright light
of a new view of what everything was.
It was then
I realized that happiness
was not part of my vocabulary
for the 2 years that I was married.
I was wandering through
my life, with smoke stinging my eyes.
That smoke was doubt.
Now,
I couldn't be more sure
than I ever have been
in my entire life.
There IS a light at the end
of the tunnel.
Though it seems dim when you
start your journey.
As you continue to walk
the light will grow into a beacon.
That will lead you to what
was in store for you all along.
When it seems bleak
please hold on.
Life is a wild roller coaster
that will both terrify you
and exhilarate you.
Going from,
divorcée to fiancée.
Were both the best decisions
I ever made.
A.A.
