The death of a heart

The rain fell too quickly

Covering me from head to toe

Before I realized what was happening

I've dealt with this before I tell myself

Listening to the rain fall inside my head

My own personal world crumbling

Where do I stand

If you belong to another

Where is our love

Once strong enough to survive

Is it slowly dieing

cowering in a corner

Away from the light

As silent as a shadow

You have taken everything

And I'd told myself it was okay

Because there was still the love

But where am I now

Without your love

That has held me all these years

Our child clutching to my side

As I stand in the rain

And watch you walk away

I am thankful

That a higher power gifted me a son

That looks nothing like you

So as you walk away

I hold only contempt for you

And not our son

Who is so much like his mother

That you once thought it was unbearable

I guess that doesn't matter now

All snide jokes aside

I won't have to look at my son

And see your face everyday...

Somtimes we have to cut our losses and move on. Nice write.
