Pending divorce


I wanted to know about your day,
but you had nothing you wished to say,
so finally I left you all alone,
my heart felt like lead, while yours was stone.

I asked about your weekend too,
wanting to know what did you do.
You shrugged and wouldn’t talk to me,
making my interest seem needy.

If you had left me physically,
I’d have found it easy to see
that you wanted no part of my life,
that you’d discarded me as your wife.

You stayed to make me feel so bad,
as if my actions made you mad,
as if I had done something wrong,
lashing at me with spiteful tongue.

In the end I could not stay,
had no more that I could say.
It was my final gift to you;
the last thing I had left to do.
