She bears battle wounds;
scars of infinite sadness
and amputated love.
What an unkind marriage didn’t do
a protracted divorce did.
Debt and threats invade her life.
Still she remains steadfast
Juno in the praetorium
pleading for her children.

You could almost be writing about my life.
I like the 'amputated love' - how true is that!
Lived that.
It gets better, just like they told me.....time heals all wounds, if I let it....
I did.
;-)
Aims - I concur, thank you.
Emom - Very true. I don't even hate my ex any more :)
That's just lovely, Rachel. The painting is beautiful, the poem word-perfect.
I agree with Stephanie. So true. 'amputated love' is superb.
Thank you both :)
