The Shattering
Life was fun and full of joy,
Hope’s were high and trust undenied.
One day I woke to anger –surprised.
Anxious, confused, a weekend away;
Reunion unpleasant when I heard you say:
“I met someone, we talk everyday,
I want his comfort when our son passes away.
I’m angry with you, our debates quite heated,
I’m sure it’s no surprise you fool, my lover and I cheated!”
My ego destroyed with all pride and all joy,
All we have built thrown by the wayside.
I raged, I cried, I asked to know why,
The response I received, with emotion depleted, “quite frankly my dear now we are even!”
Even! What betrayal have I wrought?
I fought to provide, I planned, I devised,
I thought of you only and the kids we sired.
All was for you and them, no one else!
While you planned a future with a snake.
You wrote a new story with hobbies and toys,
Made plans for our daughter but left out our boy.
The rejection so real and the pain so deep,
I lost sleep for a night and appetite for a week.
All that I lived for, all that I knew,
Was love and support for my love– for you!
Now I am broken, shattered anew,
Ground to powder in sense with no relief in view.
This is the story of my son on hospice and my wife having an affair and making plans to run off with some guy and our daughter.
