JADED (written in the days leading up to my divorce)

With fire alight in my amber eyes

I have become a woman jaded

Draining is this our bitter demise

Still fighting after hope has faded

This face so quietly masks the pain

but to look deep within one might learn

that these golden orbs all my anguish contain

and may surmise the freedom I yearn
