how long does love last I've wondered often 7 years? more? will the pain ever soften? no I decide but tonight I found closure sitting with friends eating pizza drinking beer opening gifts early because we can door bell rings I stroll as well as I can and the smile died on my lips with the look of your face you bastard after 7 stupid years you knock on my door and the first thing you say is " Merry Christmas Enchant..... " I remain silent though my soul screams violence " Sam and Igot a divorce can I come in its kinda cold out here maybe we could talk over a coke or a beer " your body is the same as I know it well but your eyes they speak volumes of a personal hell and I wish I'd been stupid enough again to let you in but instead I kindly ask you off my porch bastard the nerve after all these years you were married you lied you made me your whore I whispered as I closed my front door " the names not Enchant anymore...... " Just a little while ago my best friend and I finished burning all your old things in the burn barrel out back....and I'll never write or ponder over you again. Amen and Merry Christmas this is the end.... |

I guess it was because I was just 16 almost 17, he was almost 30 and I was willing to believe anything and everything he said was the truth....he didnt marry until about a yr after we had started " dating " and she lived in the next town over in an apartment he paid for, drove a car he paid for, God, how blind....those weekend trips with friends just for the guys, never meeting his family....how he avoided things like that...I can see it now....I've been able to see it for yrs...and it haunts me....he married her on one of those " week get-aways- with the guys " they ran off to Florida and wed while visting Disney World...he came and took all his stuff out of my apartment while I was at work one afternoon.....and when I called his mother to find out where he was....she told me about his new wife....his mother didn't even know my name....and out of nowhere he comes by after looking me up from my sister...to let me know he was divorced....and wanting to talk... I wanted to wring his neck but instead I just shut the door...sometimes you just have to shut the door.... Nature has a funny way of breaking that which will not bend....Jewell |
