twelve months of hell

i could handle
the silent treatment
for days at a time
by the ex wife.
that was
no problem.
and the no dinners
or lunches,
or going out to the movies,
or to the beach
or a day
trip to anywhere.
i got used to
being ignored and alone.
the tv censored.
i could handle all of that,
but cutting
me off from
sex for five months was
pushing things
too far.
i hadn't been that lonely
and frustrated
since my freshman 
year in high school.
