This computer has been my trusted friend
through email after email till the end,
Ups and downs, highs and lows,
the words like still water flows.

But through it all I now face,
the harsh reality my life does trace,
My marriage is over after many years
and all that's left are unshed tears.

These scars I will carry forever in my heart
sure they will stop me before I start
on any new endeavor that involves total trust
lock it all away,this I know I must.

so what is left is just a shell with no soul
a woman raising her child as her only goal
a ghost, a shadow of innocence lost
my spark in life has been the cost.

" Silence"

This computer has been my trusted friend

Ups and downs, highs and lows,
the words like still water flows.

But through it all I now face,
the harsh reality my life does trace,
My marriage is over after many years
and all that's left are unshed tears.

These scars I will carry forever in my heart
sure they will stop me before I start
on any new endeavor that involves total trust
lock it all away,this I know I must.

so what is left is just a shell with no soul
a woman raising her child as her only goal
a ghost, a shadow of innocence lost
my spark in life has been the cost.

I am sorry for your unhappiness. I have been through the same thing many years ago. You will get through it and become a stronger person because of it. Just concentrate on your child and career and you won't have time to be lost and lonely for long.

Blessings,
Rita

Good write. Coming from divorced parents it will take awhile for you to move on w/somebody new but you will and you will be happy again even if it may take awhile for you to find him. Good write and thanks for sharing enjoyed reading
