you know I was always there for you--
covering your lapses--
uniting with your purpose
in some old-fashioned idea of matrimony--

but sadly--you never learned how to be kind--
sadly you went on and on

as if you had license to abuse
in the name of some idiot notion of 'love'--

you've gone on to other marks
and I am no better or worse than before--
except for the waste of time
that will become tales I tell the young'uns

when they're old enough to receive this without mockery--
when they are ready to find out for themselves
