you had no way of knowing
as you sat down next to me
you seemed just like a stranger
someone i knew just vaguely
instead of someone who said
they loved me constantly

you asked about our old dog
i relayed to you she'd died
i said i could not tell you
as all i could do was cry
you seemed to understand why
i had kept it all inside

you turned around to face me
there was sadness in your eyes
the life we'd had together
was destroyed by all your lies
i had no way of knowing
that you were going to die

no, i did not know that day
i'd never see you again
they said you'd died swiftly
when your car was hit head on
there are things i could tell you
but i can't because you're gone.

Thank you, Lori. This is about the last time I saw my ex-husband. It happened a year after I had divorced him.

My last ex died 6 months after the divorce. It has been hard on our daughter...but I had already come to terms with that possability before the divorce.

Ida-Thank you so much! I appreciate your wonderful comments.

Lori--Oh, Lori. That's sad to hear. Fortunately, we didn't have children. I can imageine it must have been difficult for her.

You carried this off quite well, Faith. I applaud you for it. By the way, this is JerryPat, I have major problems with the JerryPat identity.

A black cat ran in front of me tonight. I'm not worried. They don't bother Warlocks.
