Your infidelity is like a knife in my back...
I know her name, where she lives and works...
I have done nothing to hurt her or even call her...
Yet you call me vindictive...
I guess I am because I stay with you for the medical insurance...
When I was in the hospital close to death...
You thought to play...
I found the stained undergarment...
I have no trust, love,or respect for you...
You are a coward, with no honor...
Yet you profess your love for me...
You are a bad dream and I see the ending...
I am alone, with a little dog, and a small home...
You see I do not need your brand of love...
I guess storybook endings are not for everyone...
My wish for you is to have a happy life...
Even though it will not be with me...

I like the kind of irony in the last line, the words feel bitter, the kind you would say to give the person you love peace, even while you burn inside. This works very well for the contest.
Well penned,

Some grim details such as staying for the medical insurance and finding the stained undergarment. That generous to wish the person a happy life though I doubt if you mean it! Could mean you're forgiven them, I suppose.
This certainly fits into the category of happiy never after.

I know they do not, it is about letting the outside world into our marriage and listening to someone direct his life.

I feel allot of bitterness in this poem! Being hurt like you have been surely poisens one's dreams and kills the hope for tomorrow. My wish is that your heart will heal and that love will find you!
