Today says it all;

Our marriage and bonding

-it's fakery, is explained.

The white that ironically

Belonged to me

Now hangs at the low-back,

Of your young wife-to-be

What was mine?

Was it all really yours?

After all, you won the money,

And I won the chores

And the lawyers agreed,

And made the deal

That I'd keep the kids.

Every two weeks,

You're supposed to be there

Our youngest still waits at the gate

When I arrive, he frowns

Buts that's mine too.

Your unwanted responsibility

I only agreed to come,

Because they want to see you

For the first time in centuries,

Your first meeting

Is at your wedding.

The look of resentment but content

Says it all

The black bow tie and the white tuxedo

Says it all

The bride that waltzes before your evil eyes

Says it all

I was never the one for you.

Just a stepping stone, a tool.

There.

Now I've said it all.

*******

I think something's wrong with me. I keep writing poems like these :/
