Marriage Disparaged

 


  Got married
    settled down
  Bought a house
    heart o’ town

  Three kids later
    left my job
  Wife lost faith
    ceaseless sobs

  Bitter divorce
    lost my shirt
  Five human beings’
    feelings hurt

  Is there a way to
    hold onto each other 
  For now I reside in ~
    the garage of my brother
