Now Or Never
Our marriage was a sham,
We fought and argued all the time
There was no love lost between us
We were like train tracks going
parallel in the same direction
yet merging nowhere,
We were at each other's throats.
Finally, I had had it enough--
I caught hold of her arm
dragged her through the hallway,
Threw her out of our home
And slammed the door shut.
For a long time
I leaned against the door
holding my breath
in a grip of terrible concern,
But finally breathed a sigh of relief;
Good riddance! That's it. No more...
I heard a soft knock
I am sorry, let me in, She cried softly.
“No, absolutely Not,” I barked,
“I am not taking it no more.”
Please, give me another chance,
I'll make our marriage work.
Please open the door
“NO!”
I...I...LOVE...You!....

...And I opened the door!
