Almost Possible

My once overflowing and devoted heart
is now a barren and empty shell,
But know that I, too, have survived
this lengthy marital and emotional hell.

Many mistakes were unconsciously made
and some terrible things were said,
And now this almost possible marriage is
certainly more than completely dead.

Your affirmations of love can no longer
hold any real or deep meaning for me.
I know that you have tossed your once precious
gold wedding ring into the sea.

You need more than one woman to be fulfilled,
of that I can certainly have no doubt,
But you must know that from here on out,
you'll no longer see me cry and pout.

You murdered my loving and devoted heart
when you so indifferently walked away,
Instead of standing firm to your commitment
to us and trying yet another way.

You can't be true to anyone. Oh yes,
you know that you have said it yourself,
And I can't stand it here where you put me
on this kind of, sort of married shelf.

The love between us that once had possibility
can definitely remain steadfast no more.
Only of this final and inevitable dissolution
of commitment can we absolutely be sure.
