Divorce hit my confidence like an atomic explosion,
I wanted to run to arms of another but was frozen,
I felt like a failure, undeserved of happiness with someone new,
How could I transfer my baggage and misery into her view,
I wanted to be strong and prove I was a man,
How could infidelity burn so deep my soul got a tan,
But it did, sidelining me right out of the game,
Suspended animation solo is fertile grounds to grow insane,
Many years has passed but I still love that Jersey girl and her attitude,
But also can't forget the dragon fly darling with Canadian shield mood,
I'll live forever looking back on this fateful indecision,
It's profoundly shaped my heart with surgical precision,
I know I should forget those two women and move on with my life,
But matters of the spirit like this these days are more than rife,
I'm just one example in a swollen sea full of stories,
So let this one of mine make waves amongst all allegories.
