5 Years Ago

Location

This marriage changed our lives forever,

something we both know.

 

You aren't divorcing no never,

You see how much this blows?

Every year we get older,

I see you age ten.

 

You've even lost your smolder,

my heart will never mend.

You have vented to me on many occasions,

plenty of times I cried.

But there is always one stipulation,

the rules I still abide.

 

This should end soon my father,

I don't want to see the pain.

 

Before you take this farther,

know there is nothing to gain.

 

I can't even be around you,

it hurts me so.

When will we get through?

How much lower can we go?

 

Why can't we go back to just you and me?

Why does this have to be so hard?

 

Why does it have to be us three?

And why to I feel so charred?
