I can not function, left to deal with this abominable state,
Drinking, attempting to drown my sorrows, because I can't deal with what is real;
My temperament is of a futility that I have never felt before,
I can't imagine EVER feeling that matrimonial zeal.
Leaving me in the middle of the night,
It was such a ruthless act;
You said that you had found another man,
He had so many qualities you needed, most that I lacked.
I detest you, abandoning me in this fashion,
But as I was counting the ways you brought me to my knees;
Our small daughter was standing at my side, rubbing sleep from her eyes,
And I realized the extent of your immorality when she said, Where is Mommy?
