an empty space

if i knew then what i know
now
there never would have
been a first date,
let alone a relationship
or marriage.
if i knew one of her ten deal
breaking issues,
just one i would have put
my track shoes on,
and took off like a bat
out of hell, not waiting
even a second for the sound
of the starting gun.
the list was hidden from me
behind her back.
not a word or whisper
not a single clue from anyone
of how
godless she was, and what
she lacked.
a heart.
