The Uncoupling

The day I left A true surprise As you sat in a tub soap suds in your eyes I've called your mom and dad And am going there to stay until my mom arrives whose currently on her way You couldn't ,wouldn't ,believe As you squinted through Eyes you tried to aleve You said ,"you know There's no coming back, If you decide to Choose this track" What burst from me A laugh of glee Though neither could believe it I was finally free After years and years Of fighting this fight I quietly threw in the towel that night While you had come to think no level Could you sink that would ever have me feeling this numb No anger,or fear Nor holding as dear to a place of peace I'd succumbed with a voice Paced and low and devoid of dread I looked you In the squint And purposely said....... Why would I ever do that ?
