Featherweight
Fickle feckless floozy Florence Fay
Eliciting no sympathy or empathy from me
Amorous? Apparently with hundreds of others.
Tonight I cut the ties that have bound.
He can have you, I release you, I tell her.
Enthusiastic crying will not sway me one whit.
Releasing her will give me a fresh start.
Wedding vows were pushed on me by her three years ago.
Eager you were to wed me and my money, I remember.
I was in love with you, but you have ruined that now.
Gallivanting all over with every Tom, Dick and Jim
Happiness you seek has not included me in any way
Tonight I will enjoy a wife-less sleep, not worrying about where you are.
