Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Etheridge are splitting, and the news of it is being spread by the two parties in blogs and perhaps in song lyrics too.

The day after Etheridge filed to end her partnership with Tammy Lynn Michaels Etheridge, her partner of nine years penned some poetic thoughts about the abrupt severing.
Michaels, 35, who has two children with Melissa, blogged on her Hollywood farm Girl blog about "blindsiding,"
Michaels writes, "gentle waves / no noise for awhile / or maybe gentle voices and / SMACK!!!!!!!!!!!! / FILE FOR DIVORCE!!!!!! / even though we both promised / agreed / handshook / pinkyswore / no filing until after the tour / in the fall."
"Her broken promises / told to me by/headlines / i'm raising the kids / doing what i can / second set of yours,"
"Could you stop blind sighting [sic] me?" she concludes. "Unless it's another art form you're working on / have a good concert," Michaels penned in her blog.
On "Fearless Love," Etheridge's new single, the deteriorating state of their partnership is perhaps foreshadowed in the lyrics: "I need a fearless love/Don't need to fear the end/If you can't hold me now/You will never hold me again..."I'm not hear to lay the blame...sometimes you just get burned..."
Michaels gave birth to the couple's son Miller and daughter Johnnie in 2006.
