Divorce

I had a wife.
She was my life,
But it was a time filled with toil and strife.
I loved her dear.
And without fear.
Then came the day to shed a tear.
She asked to move on,
She told me not to miss her when she was gone.
It felt like my heart was staked to the lawn.
I fought.
But her love couldn’t be bought.
So I gave in and accepted my lot.
One thing in life I’ve been shown.
All my relationships have been blown,
And I am meant to be alone.

A Rant On Love

Love never got me anything but misery and pain,
So I’ve broken that chain.
I don’t love anyone or anything.
Whenever that thought starts to take wing,

I remind myself that no one cares,
About how my life fares.
It’s very easy to see,
When I remember what loving did to me.

I will love no one.
With the subject I am done.
I see no reason to beseech,
For that which is out of reach.
