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.
