Divorce Poem

This poem expresses the sadness of marriage as it ends....looking back on the happiness that once was.

Last Walk Down Memory Lane

© Melanie Edwards
As we sit here in silence, no longer husband and wife
I can't forget the vow I made to love you all my life...
Our last walk down memory lane fills my eyes with tears
As I find us walking hand in hand in our high school years.
I pass through our college life in search of our "Wedding Day"
The happiness and love we felt makes me want to stay...
But up ahead I know the best of us is yet to be
As I see you and our babies waiting there for me.
I hold you all in my arms as our babies start to grow
I feel the future calling me...but I don't want to go.
The road of our life together is ending here today
Going in different directions, with nothing left to say.
The last walk down memory lane finds us crying and alone
With nothing left but memories of our family and our home.

  • This poem is very touching. I was in tears after reading this poem. I wish no couple should invite such a trauma into their lives. A little bit more of understanding, a little bit more of love, a little amount of compromise, a little more of concern for each other, a little less ego amongst the couple shall definitely make the strings of marriage tight and the bond of love strong. I hope every couple takes this poem as a warning and delete the word "divorce" from the dictionary of their lives, thereby avoid their break up.

  • For some reason tonight, I read this poem. I myself am going through a divorce. I cried, it really broke my heart, but it is really beautiful. I look forward to seeing and reading more.

  • I really do not have a story about my married life, because even today I never dreamed it would have ever had to end, mostly the way it did just because of another guy she met on the internet, no one really knows how much it hurts or who it hurts the worst. It has now been over 4 years since she was my longtime friend and the only one I could count on to always be with me and help me when I was down and also I did the same for her because we were the only two who I thought could never end a love like ours, but after 28 great happy year plus two sons and a really great life she told me she no longer loved me as her husband. My heart dropped that night and has never regained where it belongs that's in your arms and mine, but I know god knows who hurts the worst and I also know you will never find anyone that loved you as much as I, to my Teresa you know you will always be for me and our two sons who are now adults will never ever understand how it could have happened to us, a family
