What do you think this poem is about?

Divorce

Woke up suddenly thinking I heard crying.
Rushed through the dark house.
Stopped, remembering. Stood looking
out at bright moonlight on concrete.

    People don't seem to contemplate the lonliness of life after a divorce...
    If they did, they might appreciate their spouse more.
