The Story Of My Life

A 5-Liner on your Life Poetry Contest

The Story Of My Life

When my husband's infidelity thrashed
Into a lit dumpster our marriage dashed
A storybook is blackened
And the pages are so saddened
For he booked the wrongful passage that crashed

Well written Connie. Very sad thought. Tough betrayal of trust

Gosh. I hope that last line was metaphorical. And if not, good riddance! Thanks for entering my contest and congrats.
