Strangers

Two strangers meet and fall in love

The way it's meant to be

Their love is pure and meant to last

As anyone can see

They start a family like lovers do

Two kids and brand new house

They fight the world to make it better

This husband and his spouse

They both attend the PTA

Their football games and such

They always do the best they can

But soon it becomes too much

The world keeps getting heavier

And they start to grow apart

Then distance sets up residence

Inside the lover's hearts

Then inside an empty courtroom

Custody becomes complete

Now on every other weekend

Is where two strangers meet

This is structured well, the last stanza is really powerful.. as it is a great contradiction to what the couple used to be. Well done :)

Divorce is a horrible thing to go through. Had to deal with it once,
wasn't to pretty. Well expressed.

Divorce. Such a horrible thing. Especially if kids are involved. This was very enjoyable. Nice write. (:
