Thought She Should Know
When my wife left,
I mourned for her.
We are no longer,
The way we were.
The loss changed every
Single thing I know.
I linger in eternity,
In touch and go.
The way I spoke,
What I ate, it all changed.
My mental state,
Is crazy and deranged.
How I listen, what I watch
On TV, it is all different.
I'm depressed, I mumble,
I'm incoherent.
My circle of friends
It is not the same.
Nothing familiar
And warm remain.
My people skills,
Altered by the loss.
It has all come down,
To a coin toss.
My finances, my reputation,
My status.
My heart is black
And calloused.
My self-worth, self-esteem,
Even my rhythm.
I don't know how
I ended up the victim.
The way I breathe, I think,
My functions.
Wave after wave
Of repercussions.
My hobbies, my interests,
My sense of security.
My attitude, my beliefs,
My maturity.
My sense of humor, the essence
Of my womanhood.
Wrecked my emotions,
And all that was good.
I'm expected too just
Get on with my life.
My entire existence in
The hands of my wife.
It is horrific, life-altering
Experience to digest.
The air leaves you, a weight
Upon my chest.
How I speak, what I say,
My vision.
Every single thing in my life
Affected by her decision.
She devoured a
Human soul.
Just, thought she
Should know.
