Didn't you see it coming?

by Em   Oct 28, 2020


Last summer seems like a distant memory now
as you angrily pass me in the street, head down;
least you've the decency to look ashamed.
You utter words of disgust in my piqued direction;
why I'm not so sure - it was you who did the dirty.

You pleaded with me not to end our relationship,
only so you didn't lose control of me
but how could I stay when you'd hospitalised me again.

One too many times it seems.

Divorce was always a means for an end
even back then but now,
now I'm stronger without you.

It sounds clichéd for certain but
I hope you approve of the papers
as I never wanted to say "I do."

    Hello, Em.
    Nice to read your work again.
    I was rather hoping happiness had knocked your door and embraced you by now. Tell me it has and this is fiction, or at least using experience to create a piece.
    Anyway, I hope you are well. X
