I'll Forever Be Your Ex-Wife

Shikata ga nai Poetry Contest Silent One My Dear, The sun will rise tomorrow And there will be some sorrow For I'll be out of your life And I'll forever be your ex-wife It saddens me to let go However I need to grow And blossom Instead of playing possum I need to get back on my feet Instead of taking your back seat It's like I was tied to your hands And molded to your plans Which was to be your slave That you locked in your cave It was ... always you being sated And me being dictated This one way street needed to end And to cut ties now will be a godsend For five years we had a bond To death do us part, I now need to despond This note should it find your ways I truly wish you happier days Shikata ga nai I say a final goodbye

Touching piece Connie, full of selfishness and control. Hope you are doing well.

Beautiful though sad. Hope it's not biographical; if it is, my sympathies. Thanks for sharing your poem.
