Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

I thought to myself, we could not go on like this if we did not divorce. His love was like a rose in a glass greenhouse. It looked vibrant and full of life, so rich and alluring, but I did not have the key to that greenhouse. I could only hear about his love from his words. I could not smell the rose's fragrance, but I knew roses had thorns. One touch and I would be covered in scratches.

Even if I carved my heart to complement his, we still would not fit together. I knew this all too well.

When I tried to compromise, he vanished from my life without a trace. I faced the emotional backlash alone with no one to talk to. I barely made it through the withdrawal, and now he was talking about not getting divorced? I laughed bitterly.
