What Happened To Us?

What happened to us? Now I fear you, hate you, loath you Really want to kill you You disgust me Distract me Distrust me, hate me Really want to kill me. Always forever Remember forever and ever? Marriage vows Exchanged in glee Baby you and me made three. Love we made twice a day Exciting full filling We both have to say Time moved on-on we went kids happened Deaths, birthdays Illness, PTA and job promotions. Travel too much Yes you did Warn to much Yes I did Now my unhappiness From you I hid. Pay our bills Build that house Need new cars And more charge cards. Love we made Now once a week Some hand jobs But still lots of heat. On we went, time moved on How your money I did spent. My appearance now did not care Shorter skirts I would not wear roots came in Dull dark grey hair. All my love Hot to you Instead to our child Ok, I admit its true. But I remember well Your mistress tale This deep pain for me Never did heal. Time moved on- on we went All my love frozen cold Because you said I’m Getting to old Love we made Once a month Probably less, its hard to guess. So divorce papers you did file I felt free At first Many new possibilities! Thought I, maybe now love I’ll find Greater wealth And peace of mind. Lies we tell Around about Divorce is good This we should Therapists and Friends do too- Yes divorce Is right for you! So time moved on, on we went And all our money Our attorneys spent Love we made Not once this year This replaced With grief and fear Now I despise you, loath you Hate you Midnight plots Of you to rape you. Win I will And win I must For now I know What happened to us Our love was planted Yet left unattended Rot to earth Can’t be mended. I alone this Garden tended. So why of why Did you fail to tell No gardener are you Our love to fell. Our garden of love Rot and weeds Hate, desert Now you sow These seeds. Ironic yes. I’m afraid it’s true. Long at last A gardener I’ve made of you.
