Divorce



Why start at the beginning

when the end

the black hole of a thing

that was us

now looms so large before me.

 

We were an us.

 

A Mrs and a Mr.


 

Tied together before God,

 let no man or better yet

a woman tear us apart.

 

What is this bitter taste

that rises over and over

causing me to choke;

I seem to  

 know it so well.

 

Betrayal.

I wear it like a mantle

over my head,

a neon

sign that blinks

saying I wasn't good enough

for you.

 

Let's look at her with jaded eyes,

 the curve of her jaw,

the ebony hair

was it the flair of her waist?

The way she tasted on your tongue

was it honey to your lips?

 

Like a bee you were drawn to

your Queen,

and I still feel the sting.

    raw is such a good word for this emotion-
    that pain must be unimaginable.
