Sadness is having to witness a divorce
when i should be attending a wedding,
Sadness is having to draft the terms for separation
when they should have been well wishes for finding a mate;
Sadness is having to bear witness to accusations of infidelity
having to just stand there helplessly, feeling the pain
And seeing tears flowing freely from both parties,
tears of sorrow, tears of hurt, tears for having to say "That's it! Let's part!"
when it should have been "Let's start a happy new life together ..."
And when one leaves with nothing but bad memories and a suitcase
while the other's frail back trembles with wretched sobs in my farewell hug -
was the saddest sadness in a long, long time ...
