The Ex [A Story of Divorce]
by Shari Reardon
I saw Him the other day,
Cocky as ever.
His stance, His sway..
Worthy? never...

He walks around me leering,
looking for what?
Up and down, side to side
stopping there, but..

Says He doesn't love me,
Never did...i say.
Loved Him dearly,
but that was another day.

i stop and breath,
push away a tender tear.
Wipe Him from my mind,
Just for Him to reappear.

It has been so long,
seems only a day.
Every thought, smell, song..
Damn it.....go AWAY!

Broken and low,
now, strong and free.
problem though
God, i dont want to be.

Against my will,
i gave in to His wish.
Let Him walk
"we"...finish...

Doesn't feel done,
doesn't feel right.
want Him, the "ONE"
i dream of at night.

Scary, i know,
He doesn't deserve me.
time...goes so slow
please....let my soul be free!

i'll let Him move on,
dont want to, at all.
better this way,


Just..... don't let me fall......
