Better Odds

Saturday night we went to our bar. Remember it's the one that's not too far. There are many good memories at that place. But for a while it became my drowning escape. We left there and went to Custom Tattoos. And now I have the same tat as you. If I would have known then what I know now, I probably would have still taken those vows. Sunday night we went to Frankie's fun park. I think we were trying to rekindle the spark. You know the spark that brought us together. That's when we thought it would be forever. You got mad at me at the park that day. You said I was trying to cheat playing a game. I knew then what you were really mad about. I saw it in your eyes, a look full of doubt. Monday night I sat there waiting for you. When you came home your face was the clue. Your look told me you were serious this time. You said you were done and wanted to break ties. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I just wanted you to tell me you were kidding. I asked you if you were still in love with me. By your silence, I knew you wanted to be free. One year later and I'm doing alright. I'm finally starting to get my life right. If it wasn't for therapy and good meds, Who knows I might just be dead. I want you to know that I forgive you. I understand now why you had to choose. It was a battle between me and your GOD. And it seems in the end God had better odds.

I'm not really a writer but I try. Mostly when I write, the words come out in music to me if that makes any sense. Lately, writing poems has been like therapy for me. But like I said, I'm not really a writer, but I try.
