Don't Cry For
Me Argentina

What shall I say?
My wife wants to run away
and live with a rich man
in Argentina.
I suppose it's true
that they will leave you
after you mess up their head
until they wish you were dead.
And than they say
get out of my way.
I'm leaving today.
Not so much as
a wave goodbye.
All concerned parties
shall take the time
later to cry.

Thank God for
intervening all
those years ago.

this is why I don't believe in marriage...and yes, you can thank God she left, you didn't need her anyhow...I hate money hungry women as I myself am not materialistic at all...but I have to believe that time will come that they will figure out that it's not about money and what it really is about is gone forever, and they are left weeping.

Thank you Ivy and Noah and passing shadows for the nice responses...
I was very much to blame for the reasons why my ex-wife strayed...I was not there for her emotionally...
At the time I was scared to death that she would be moving to Argentina...she ask me to take her to the library to check out books about Argentina so she could find out what it would be like to live there.  The final decision was not hers...The man she had an affair with while he was in California to get a pilots license wrote her a letter from Argentina saying that he was married and he enclosed a picture of him and his children...he said something along the line of "Maybe in another life, or another time it would have worked for us."  So apparantly he didn't want to leave his wife and family.   James
