Hello everyone here is a new poem written a few minutes ago. First draft so 
comments please.

Another marriage bites the dust

She knew it would topple, built on sand
everything there to help them, no demand
no scrimping, saving, everything there,
someone else’s
cast off husband, girl friend, old arm chair
Thrown into a pool of sadness, tears again
no thoughts of grandma, continued pain
watching grand babies tumble from the sky
like age old nappies hung on stars to dry

Rocking chair and knitting, no longed needed now
liberated woman manage on their own,these days
somehow
husband, weeps into a cloud of steam
another nightmare
wakens him from a sleepless dream
not men’s faults or woman’s too
who can take the blame, when this new world
they say, is not meant for two?
Maybe now, it’s three or four or maybe more
“Move on” that’s how the saying goes

The world moves on and nothing stays the same
but granny cannot play their lover’s game
Hopes everything will eventually turn out right
Gazes at the stars
and tries to catch her babies falling through the night.
