this time last year

this time last year,

my life was going down the drain,
having caught
my lovely bride once more

with her married boyfriend
at the park.

caught her in a slew of daily
lies.

caught her emails, her texts,
her calls.

her everything. her mask slipped,
the devil in disguise.

sherlock holmes had nothing on me.

heartbreaking. distressing.
but
necessary

to get me out of it. it's been
a long road

of ruminating, of healing,
of tossing and turning,

conjuring acts of revenge,
or wishing bad karma

to strike them both down.
it was crazy town for quite a
while.

but now that apathy has set
in, i wish them well. i hope
he finally leaves

his long suffering wife
and her, her long suffering
ex husband
and that they end up together.

that they sail away on his big
blue boat
and live and love

happily ever after.
they truly deserve one another.
