Proof
Our marriage would last
There was only one thing I asked
That you knew nothing about,
I asked that the day we married
You’d marry me without a doubt.
***
For any of this to happen
A divorce you would need,
A piece of paper saying
Your wife has set you free.
***
But once again I was wrong
It seems you don’t care enough,
Your wife makes it a little hard for you
And you quit without a fuss.
***
All I really needed
Was for you to do it on your own,
I didn’t want pressure you
And I didn’t want to moan.
***
Now it seems you’ve left it
For your mother to do,
When all the proof I needed
Was a little effort from you.
***
Now there’ll never be a wedding day
Because of what I asked,
I didn’t think I asked too much
Just proof our marriage would last.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
