I held my tears for quite some time till anger ran them dry I went to say the last good bye and give my reason why As I walked into the living room the tv set was loud I sat beside my husband, and said dear I need to talk He looked at me and quickly said ok, what's on your mind I started to tell how very long and very hard I've tried To work on things that I held with in for such a long-long time I told him of my affair with his best friend John, how neither of us meant to stray or meant to carry on But he was never there for me the tv set came first and so with much thinking here, it was time for me go All the sudden, all at once he stood and raised his hands How could you he screamed and waved his arms you stupid so and so..... This was the first reaction I've ever seen come from my man Joe..... How could you be so stupid how could you do this thing With head in hands he jumped about, stomping and muttering, Then he looked at me and softly said I'm sorry, what did you say? And pointed to the television and said "he used an "E" where an "A" was needed to play" Tori ©1980 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If with pen in hand I've made you think I've not wasted one drop of ink vlh. |

Tori this is sad, but the end wants to make you laugh. I can only say I understand this. I know what you write. I've been there. I see this was 1980 and would assume things are different or your in a different relationship? I hope so. Meaning I hope things are better. You know I'm always here for ya if ever need to talk. HUGS |
