Hung upside down

 

He is filing for divorce

He says he is leaving me one way or the other

I thought he would change his mind

I thought it was one of his dry jokes

Jokes so dry they give me grief

We are signing the papers in three weeks

Fifteen years gone with a stroke of a pen

He says I am disgrace and I do not look pretty no more

He says I am very boring

You know, I even learned to cook the whitest dishes just for him

I tried to make this place warm and inviting

Something I envisioned as a child

I have given every inch of my life to him for the last fifteen years

I might have saved him about a thousand times 

I would kill or die for him, yet there is nothing I can do to stop him from leaving

He is taking the children with him and he is threatening me with a lawsuit

I am ashamed to go back home, without a job and education

  Every time I opened a book he told me he does not accept any nonsense

Every time I applied for a job he asked me what do I need money for

When I only looked good in a maternity dress and a kitchen apron

He has not said a word to me this evening
