X is for the eX

X is for the eX

A slice of life

To cut with a knife

A portion for you,

A portion for me

It wasn't half and half.

The partnership was slanted

The way that you wanted.

Stir in a couple of children

No more a Garden of Eden.

No matter how I tried

Your love for me didn't survive

You looked and saw greener grass

Leaving me deep in the morass.

Explanations weren’t satisfactory

And you were still derogatory

So after year twenty-three

It came to a decree nisi.

 

For what we shared

You should have shown that you cared

Life is too short so you said

And then left my bed.

You broke my heart and my head.

Now my heart is physically broken

And nothing more is spoken.

Too little too late

You’ve sealed your own fate.

You stretched the boundaries

All I have left are the memories

Some are precious jewels to treasure

That are far too numerous to measure.

Left to pick up the pieces,

It took me a while to gather myself

But ten years down the line

This gent of mine suits me just fine
