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
