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 ?
