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!
