Indecent Matrimonial Proposal Poem by Rapheal Toyosi

In The Interest Of Brevity
I Won't Go Into The Details
But We Are Both At A Point
Where It Is Clear That Our Effort
To Improve Our Marriage Are Not Working
But I Don't Want To Know Tor Certain
Before Making A Pontentially Move
Improvement In Our Matrimonial
Might Mean The End Of The Affair
It's A Helpless Ache
A Roiling Throb That Sits
In The Pit Of The Stomach
But The Passage Of Time Can Heal
It Leaves You Numb
Curled Up On Your Bed
With A Pillow Between Your Legs
To Offer False Comfort
You Can't Express It
You Have To Own It
You Have To Process It
Work Through It
Let The Poison Run Completely
Through Your System Before You Can Move On
I Haven't Seen Indecent Matrimonial Proposal
Since I'd Last Been Cheated On
I Feared That It'd Been Ravaged By Time
But There's So Much Human Complexity
Beneath It Had Indecent Proposal
To Overcome It Flaws
It Provides A Convenient Means For Accelerating
The Process Of Getting Over Your Own Betrayals Of Fidelity.
