My Wife Left Me on Mother's Day, Guess I'm all Grown Up

I know all too well that you try to push me away;
you always have and you always will. It is some kind
of insecurity issue you have, to see if I will leave
or let you go….and I know that you truly do, dislike yourself;
thereby projecting a low self esteem onto me__
You always have been dependent on me for your happiness
and I have allowed you to believe that I might have been
responsible for it when in all truth, I really wasn’t.
A man cannot make a woman happy; a man is like a dog.
He’s your best friend as long as you don’t expect too much.
I knew when I met you I would never be able
to save you from yourself or the pain of your unhappiness,
but I also knew I could never leave you….
However, I was never foolish enough to believe
that you would never leave me…by any means possible.

This is great Ted. A wonderful title. The whole poem is dotted with alliteration that seems to follow no plan but yet it works for the poem so well.
The antagonism of the narrative is held together strongly, which is somewhat irnic, given the theme. |

Your insight into some of the female species is second to none, Ted. But.. all grown up because alone, huh? It takes more maturity to dare to try to retrieve a partnership than to let is slip away, without fight... IMHO. The converse of Allie's perhaps, because there is no 'too late' unless one chooses to allow someone else to play Father of Time. t x |
