You knew this day would come
Inevitable, been due a long long time
Still the sadness is somewhat overwhelming
As you reflect over the years in your mind
Remember when you took those vows
Clear in your mind to this day
Only takes a signature from the pen
To make the promise of long ago… go away
Chalk it up as another experience song
Put it alongside all of your other failures in life
As your memory list gets long, with things gone wrong
Time now, for reflections in your mind of struggle,and strife
Memories of the past, in vivid twenty twenty vision
Serve to ignite the fire of sadness, of past decision
The thought to yourself, questions if you’ve ever done anything right
As you chose love, for your guiding light
So don’t hesitate, cut the cord,
Just sign and date, seal this fate,
Using the pen as your sword
For it is done every day,
This time, it’s well overdue
Just sign, on the dotted line
The official end, of me…and of you
