Lesa Rodden Poet Rhyme

I Was a Wife

I sit here and wonder
when I look back at my life
How is it I ended up alone
and am no longer someone's wife

I was married what seems forever
and now apart almost as long
what could have happened 
and where did we go so wrong?

I look at old pictures
and remember that day
I look at my husband
and know him now in such as different way.

I wonder what, if anything
I could have done more
I can't think of the reason
that caused him to walk out that door.

Sometimes I wonder
if it could ever be
if we were still together
Would I possibly be happy?
 
Why would I think that way
why am I living in the past
I think about things that used to be
but don't realize there was a reason they didn't last.
