Marriage Shambles

there were three of us

me and he

and another,

faceless

nameless

and yet,

her presence was silently obvious

traces of her cheap perfume in our car

lipstick stains

when I wore none,

late night calls with no one there

each time I answered.

our union was a pathetic excuse

for what was supposed to be

love and commitment,

till death do you part

and on and on and on ...

not a reality in our marriage

he had zipper problems

blue jean malfunctions,

couldn't keep them on

every time a female with two legs sauntered by

with inviting eyes

intolerable...

and me?

I hit the open highway

left yesterday behind

where it remains

never the same

Hello my friend from across the way.... way across the way~~~~

Yes, it is true. He was less than honorable to put it mildly. In actuality he was a first class jerk! And, yes, I did leave and not look back regarding that relationship, not once... if one could even say it was a relationship... more like a shambles or sick, pathetic tragic joke. In retrospect, I was not ready nor did I ever love him. At the very least, the association could have dissolved in an honorable and civil way, sadly, that wasn't the reality.

The 'open highway' was me getting the hell out of dodge as they say!

lol

Wishing you a great weekend.

Smooth..very smooth. But true?...Is it? A writer has to "hit that "open" highway" for a reader to join in. I am snapping but wondering. Still a wonderful stroke at just the right peak...give em hell H.

Thank you.

This marriage was over a long time ago and is nothing more than a distant memory at best. Last night, the first lines came to me and the rest is history, as they say.

Figuratively and literally... pun totally intended!

lol

Thanks again for your time.

Alisa ;-)
