the same story

it's the same story.
over and over
and over
again.
the long marriage.
how trapped they all 
are.
no love.
no longer friends.
the kids keeping them
together,
the house, the dog,
the cats.
the neighbors
the in laws.
and money. with no
way to make it end.
sleeping in separate
rooms.
living separate lives.
keeping secrets.
telling lies. he has a
mistress, she has a friend.
a long life
of pretend.
not knowing how
to escape.
it's same story
that i hear,
over
and over and over
again.
