Wife
What are our tears for?
If not to cleanse our souls
tiny, wet reminders of the human condition
a brief memory of the world we live in
Tonight my sorrow pours out
my eyes flooded with despair,
I want to just scream and shout
“you’re always taking more than your fair share!”
They say there’s more sand in the ocean
than raindrops falling in a storm
my tears are the visual to my hearts’ broken,
proof that the love we had is now torn
That pint of ice cream from the freezer
eaten whole, the perfect cure
to this horrible chapter in my life
why couldn’t you just say it earlier?
You never saw me as your wife.
