writing the alimony check.
the child support payment.
dividing
my house in two.
my income.
my savings. my
retirement portfolio.
i remember sitting there
in the lawyer's office.
signing my name
to a sheet of paper, making
the ex wealthy.
despite never having a job
in fifteen years.
i cringed as i watched
my hard earned money
float away.
it's the law the lawyer said,
nobody cares who's
at fault, or that she was
the one
who was sleeping
around, lying, cheating,
and never working.
she gets half of everything.
better luck with the next
love of your life,
you have my number.
now go on your way.
