Never Again

Never again will I try

to convince a woman

that she wants to be

with me.

From now on,

I will be the one

to convince.

(You looked at all that I am)

You looked at all that I am

and all that I offer

and said, "Nope."

from your betrayal

and abandonment.

We Three Minus Two

My heart longs for

the DavenHalls,

we three gals.

I miss what we built

together over 16 years,

the family 

we established.

Now, I live in our

family home

without my family.

You Said You Didn’t Hate Me, But

I guess after 16 years together

and 13 years of marriage,

you looked at me and thought,

"I hate you so much that I am going to

move out, leaving you utterly alone,

and end our family.

I hate you so much that you deserve

to rot away alone

in the house that I chose for us.

I hate you so much that I find it

acceptable to demand couples therapy,

only to end it after three sessions,

give up on the marriage, and

move away."
