Dreaming of the Ex

I dreamt about my ex last night
what she meant no sex in mind
I never thought about our life
left it flat behind no rewind

It felt as though she didn’t care
as our time went on together
that is why I left it there
no looking back whatever

Once I was so very smitten
on my mind and my whole life
guess what makes it hard hitting 
one time wanted her my wife 

I ended it and walked away
after damage of her making 
no thought to ever stay
no question if mistaken 

In my dream she failed to satisfy 
just as she did in life
went from an interest in my eye 
to only pain and strife

How could she make me happy
to walk away and numb
I guess that's the way love be
it starts and then it’s done.

Things that end are so sad especially devastating things like death and yes, divorce. Well written!
