Love, the "it" in divorce
Love is what shapeshift people's hearts,
it aches in the crescent of their brains,
what breaks individuals apart,
but sadly they still have a desire for its remains
Others say no matter the pain one shall love it forevermore,
you cannot give up,
too much has been put into it so that you can just "ignore",
even if it makes you feel corrupt
They tell you as if this will help,
but in reality it's burning you inside,
you begin to yelp,
but they say "fix it" with a sigh
You want to treasure it though are unable to,
however there is no need to linger,
you are no longer the wife of Mr.Manhue,
with no ring on your finger

Your Poem's Voice
Personal heartbreak narrative with some philosophical reflection on love's nature.
Multiple ideas densely packed: love's power, pain, societal pressure, personal loss, identity shift.
Predominantly negative: ache, breaks apart, burning, unable to treasure, loss of marriage identity.
Moderate intensity with emotional urgency but controlled pacing; yelping and internal turmoil expressed.
Approximately 20-24 lines; falls within 16-30 line range.
Metaphors (shapeshift, crescent of brains, burning), personification, and concrete imagery present throughout.
Pure lyric internal voice; introspective first-person reflecting on personal emotional experience.
