Memory clouds

I'm coming to a crossroads in my real life

When I was young
in another life
 wore a uniform
 had a new wife

Big obligations
Grandiose plans
A wife at my side
life would expand

Then we got orders
We were deployed
stressed to breaking
marriage destroyed

Off came the uniform
promptly divorced
Gina had problems
A matter of course

Bulimic bi-polar
Gorgeous thin hipped
complex and difficult
smart as a whip

I wonder if Gina
would talk to me now
look in my eyes
or stare at the ground

She would hate Lexus
Say she was dumb
rolling her eyes
she would make fun

Gina could be
ugly and cruel
say hurtful things
make you her tool

That isn't Lexus
She's a sweetheart
A loving spirit
playing her part

Hard not to love
a woman like her
It's all just to easy
A thought that occurs

Nothing was easy
In Gina's mad life
One day fantastic
followed by strife

She was incredible
When she was on top
but you always knew
the other boot drop

Lexus is more like
a soft easy fit
Beautiful woman
Not one for s**t

Memories of Gina
Fog up my brain
Was she dramatic
or truly insane

It doesn't matter
Gina's long gone
Lexus is here
Time to move on

Will I be invited to the wedding ;-)

I like this, a lot. You're not doomed to repeat any pain in the past with Lexus; she sounds like a woman who completes you. I couldn't be happier for you, Baby...

xD I know, right? I've been trying to dodge that bullet for eleven years ;-) It's always my pleasure, Mark...and a mutual sentiment.

Can't compare your past to the now or the future. It sounds like you're moving in the right direction. Remember the past for its lessons and what it gave you, to make now possible. Enjoy!
