Now I'm looking through her eyes

by UTHINKOFME   Jun 24, 2005


It was strange how we met.
I was sitting at a table in the corner at the hottest club in the city waiting for him as usual.

I saw her down one drink after another as though she had the weight of the world setting on her shoulders. I got up and walked over to the bar and sat directly next to her because I wanted to fix whatever problem she was having. I just sat there but could not build up enough nerve to ask, what’s wrong?

That’s when she turned to me and said I knew you would come. I looked around to make sure she was talking to me and it turns out she was. I responded by saying, are you ok? I saw you from afar and noticed you sitting here by yourself.

She said, I DON’T WANT ANY ONE TO FEEL SORRY FOR ME SO WHATEVER IT IS YOU THINK YOU CAN DO, PLEASE HONEY DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME! She continues I’m all that I have and no one really cares. Then she said my husband left me for a young schoolgirl that could have been his daughter. Now I don’t trust anyone.

With her breath smelling like whiskey I knew she was drunk, but she continued to tell me her story. Did you know I was married for 4 years? I thought we had the American dream, a house, dog, and 2 kids. But he just let everything go for this Trick and one night of passion. I really loved him and he just broke my heart in pieces. She looked at me and said you look pretty young honey so watch out for your heart because even though you try and try to make it work sometimes it just does not. But it hurts like hell to think that you devoted your life to this man and all you get in return is “ I don’t think this working for me so I want a divorce.”

I asked her, How did you know he was cheating on you? She said because everything changed. I stopped feeling sexy, he stopped telling me he loved me and then she said I caught him lying. Now I’m here at this club because I know this is where they use to meet and I just want to see it for myself.
