14 YEARS...
He said...
I don't love you
So i pondered this fact
He said...
I don't need you
My surprise was his snack
He said....
I am leaving
Now, this gave me some pause
As I watched him remove
All his clothes
From the drawers
He said...
I'm not sorry
You deserve all you get
You're a cold hearted bitch
14 years not well spent!
He said....
I've a new love
And she gives me more
So I tried for some tears
As he walked out the door
But I found I was dry
No
I just couldn't cry
So I followed him out
And said
Good luck you trout
Here are your slippers
And please don't come back
And whatever you do
Do not take the cat
And I searched for some sadness
To mark this event
But I found myself thinking
14 years!
Not well spent
And my lover was waiting
I had places to be
And isn't it lovely
To be finally
Free.
