Carl Fraser Poet Free verse

Little Regard

So there i was
discarded as a husband
And without second thought she dresses to kill for a night out,
And theres no doubt
Her intentions are not spousal in any regard
And i sit silenced by her choice
And my inner voice tells me to hush
To let her loose to her vengeful lust
For who am i to control
For i own not her very soul
Does she not understand theres nothing to gain 
For a moment of pleasure
leads to a lifetime of pain
Its 3 am and my last tear is shed
All things i have hoped for
Have wound up dead
Every action has a consequence
Some good and some bad
So be careful what you chase after
It may just drive you mad.

Mark Peterson April 26, 2014 at 6:52 AM Excellent and heartrending write. I particularly liked "And I sit silenced by her choice." What I read is that the chief cause of failure and unhappiness is when we trade what we really want for what we want at the moment. Choose poorly, and, indeed, madness can result.
