Delinquency
The hell with anything
You have to say
You never loved me
Not even one damn day
Nothing that you ever said
Had any substance
I was a fool for being so reluctant
The warnings in front of me
That reflected you and I
Were never meant to be
Now I am in an unredeemed abyss
Because I’ve strayed
From marital bliss
In my heart I knew that
You were always a great risk
Where do I venture from here?
After all the squandered years
I must learn how to forgive
The agony I’ve endured
All the while you misused
My devotion and certainty
Now I know I’ve had enough
Of the abuse you inflicted on me
I just wish I could see
Of what my future is to be
