Ode to an Ex-husband
Go now! I shall stay amidst my woe,
My soft heart twitches with affliction.
Fleeing condemnation, I will go!
A cold man of science; is no show.
Obscene as he can be, he hounds.
Go now! I shall stay amidst my woe,
Within my veins, my blood deeply flows.
The toxicity of attraction
Fleeing condemnation, I will go!
Doll house omitting a haunted glow.
My innocence taken now bound.
Go now! I shall stay amidst my woe,
Freedom fighters tying a tight bow.
Living with your veiled distraction.
Fleeing condemnation, I will go!
Ghastly cold stare will not reach me, no!
Yes, I will be far away and found.
Go now! I shall stay amidst my woe,
Fleeing condemnation, I will go!
