Once I Was

Once I was your wife....
Thought we would be together 
For life.... 
Our titles have now 
Been misconstrued 
Because my life you misused
How does it feel calling me your “ex”? 
On this you wouldn’t place a bet 
And now you have subterranean regret 
How can we now relate 
Without operating in hatred 
Once you were my husband....
I didn’t look at you same 
Because you gave me your name 
When your love was superior 
Little did I know 
It was based on materials 
That I proved for you 
The fact is
Your love was never true
Once we were a married couple 
The tenure was short lived
You were never willing to give 
100% percent 
Now I resent
That you ever married me 
Now I will never be free 
Of all the memories 
Of a colorful imagination 
In factuality 
Our marriage was never 
A legitimate reality....
