They said I do;
but didn't know
how the two will be.

He said I love you,
she said it also without
the emotions as he.

They were married for
years shedding no tears.

Then there came the
fights, causing me to
run to my room and
shut off the lights.

Even after this first
tear of many years of
marriage was gone
along with the fight and
my light came back on.

I still felt that, gloom
of all of those booming
voices in these very
rooms.

This night is the last
of any fight, for now
my family has separated
to regain bliss they have
oh so ever missed.

My parents divorced at the age of 3 I can only remember this and no happy memories of my family being together.
