The whole process of divorce is devastating in general. Personally, I would call it one of my worst fears. So much goes along with it and there just doesn't seem to be an easy way out. One of my friends has parents who are going through a divorce right now and it is definitely not easy on the family.
In the beginning of the poem, the speaker uses the word we. Then, in the middle stanza, the speaker uses I and you. This change of word just shows how they slowly separate. The worst part about this poem is the tone. I can hear the speaker actually saying there words in my mind. Their nostalgic, reminiscent, and sorrowful tone is clearly shown through these words. I actually felt sympathy for the speaker after reading this poem. It is obvious that breaking apart was a hard route. The speaker shows this by two paradoxes at the end of the poem, "taking hands we walked apart" and "we held on tight, and let go."
