Did I leave her? Yes I did.
In time for you? Perhaps not
But in your desperation to make it so
You overlooked what I was trying to say
Yes, I agreed, it was over
No emotional connection remained
But you wanted us apart for you
And I needed us apart for me
I never wanted to think or say
You drove us apart
Or I left her for you
It wasn’t so
I left her, and I did because I had to
For me
Now for the pain
Which has begun in earnest
The second guessing and the confusion
Her animus, my sadness
Before the healing can begin
And then the awkwardness
Of family gatherings and social contact
I have experience here
Having done this before
But now, it is with two wives
And mothers
It’s not new in the world
Just new to us
