15 years

15 years of friendship
15 years of mistrust
15 years of fights
15 years of spite
15 years of lies
15 years of false hope that all will ultimately be alright
15 years of dream of happily ever after
15 years of one traumatic realization after another
15 years of twisted love
15 years of turning each other's world upside down
15 years of putting up with each other's cruel criticism
15 years of tears
15 years of wounds unhealed
1 life taken
3 lives forever ruined
15 years of snarls
And 1 divorce to make everything alright again
