Unspoken Misery

At first you think it's all okay
And then you realise it's not
At first you think you'll be okay
And then you realise your wrong

A million thoughts go through your head
About why, when and how?
Who'd have thought it'd be this tough
Why me, why them, why now?

Life has changed, that's obvious
But for better of for worse?
It's a battle to keep from crying
And on the inside it really hurts

How could they do this?
The question rattles your brain
The ugly circumtances are here to stay
Divorce can cause such pain
