Hope Springs Eternal

 

He comes in slamming doors,

Yelling, griping, hating me

I don’t know why

Or what I did

 

And do I yell at him, berate him?

No, instead I cut him to the quick

With my wittiness and guile;

He stands no chance

 

I don’t think this is mine

Or his…the blame for what we are…

Sometimes two people shouldn’t be,

That’s all

 

It takes two to tango

And we both dance poorly

He steps on my feet

And I try to lead

 

Doomed from the start, I suppose

We built this on such a shaky foundation

And yet I thought I was strong enough

I am not

 

Though perhaps we started this out poorly

Without anything like forethought

I believe that we can end it well

For our son

 

Life is difficult all around

And things are tough all over

But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

And I see it

This really reminds me of my first marriage, and yes there is a light, good luck
