Near to his heart, In his shirt pocket He carried a single grudge, A timeworn stone.. Married for thirty years Then suddenly not. Every warning sign missed Or maybe just ignored. She stood next to him Invisible for decades Hoping against hope for a change That never came. Caught unaware That something he owned Would choose to walk away Leaving all he never gave The house was stripped Not of possessions She took so little Only her clothes and her pride Didn’t leave a note Nothing really left to say No one to say it to She never looked back No bonds, no dreams Five stair-stepped children Their only common ground Just another middle-aged casualty Now twenty-five years later Its remains a mystery to him A sharp thorn that never dulled A stinging blister on his mind It is a scathing monologue When he puts voice to it Toxic, venomous words that bite No forgiveness or admission to complicity He will not give up that stone He will hoard it’s hard cold weight This grudge form by guilt unrecognized And take it with him when he goes wink |
