My husband


My dear husband
Time never waits
A dead clock shows the right time twice
Twice in twenty four hours

We got married,
After the honey moon period
We had an argument
You went to the bar
The bar that made your prison bars

Now you are involved
Involved with a twenty something year old
I cry as I wash the evidences you came home with.
You think you are smart?
Did you know you had a different undergarment?
Different from the one you left home with in the morning?

The cologne from Thursday,
The raspberry lip balm from Saturday as you kissed her goodbye,
Yes, it was still fresh.
Oh, and the flower guy, you did not throw away the receipt
The toy you brought our son for his birthday,
That wasn’t your idea,
I’ve mastered your ideas

Do you pay their rent?
Do you sort out their fees?
Do you send them up keep cash every week?
Do you facilitate their lavish experiences?

I fell in love with you because you are generous,
Were funny,
Loving,
Caring,
And responsible

But if I die,
Will you marry them?
Will you regret that you bought love while,
While it was freely awaiting you at home?

Will you try to look for me in them?
Or will you be happy that finally, I have gone
Gone and never to stop or imprison you?

I am in bed, in tears, cold and waiting for you to come home
I hope you will come back home
I hope I will be alive to welcome you home.
Just make it home on time,
Time awaits no man.
