AFTER AWHILE

Those early days
So madly in love
Thought God sent an angel
From heaven above.

But, after awhile
If the truth be known
I  longed for the days
When I lived alone.

The newness wore off
I began to complain
Couldn’t help myself
From feeling distain. 

The snoring, the gagging
The passing of gas
The belching at dinner
He surly lacked class. 

Blinded by lust
Thought I was in love
But, what  I was feeling
Just wasn’t enough. 

The cap off the toothpaste 
His pants on the floor
No flowers or candy
From him anymore. 

No wining and dining
After dinner … TV
Seems he had lost interest
Lost interest in me.

His friends would come over
Watch the 4 o’clock game
They’d hoot and they’d holler
I never complained.

I’d order them wings
A sub and some pizza
Anything else?
He’d say, “ No, we don’t need ya!”

I filed for divorce
The papers were signed
Celebrating my freedom
With a bottle of wine.
