Ashes of Divorce

I do believe in devotion.

Two people united?

Artistry in motion.

The heal-all potion.

I understand "forever."

Together always?

You'll be alone never.

A concept quite clever.

We're not meant to be alone.

Hearts want more.

But love's hard to hone

and we're stubborn as stone.

When a mate's found, the soul's content.

Potentially for always.

For keeps, not to be lent.

Even when it needs to vent.

But I don't get why we wed.

In today's world.

Is it so we can sleep in bed

For that's what the preacher said?

Does paper make you a wrecking ball force?

Stronger than before.

Then it sways and swings off course.

And the ball leaves you in ashes of divorce.

Why does paper prove love true?

Can't actions speak for us?

Without our favorite words "I do."

And things old, new, barrowed, and blue.

I get it's special, but it seems like a fad.

I want a wedding too.

But now marriages seem so bad.

And I want you forever and a tad.

Not divorce papers when you are mad..
