The Divorcee


 Press play before reading.

Salute 


Although you left me 

One night for another 

 

Leaving me forever to sit alone in the dark


Castaway to wander lonely streets

Always forsaken and painfully apart


Even though your golden wedding ring 

Still adorns my fourth finger

 


And tendrils of our beloved treasured memories 

Still linger


Despite through stealing the heart 

Of a younger stranger

 

 And you left me 

 Heartbroken 


 Feeling rejected 

 Like an adolescent teenager


Mea Culpa

It was all my fault


I just foolishly loved you 

Too much
