I think I understand our subtle hatred
  for each the other. How long can we live
  in each other's shadow before we disappear?
  I had your children bloated while you took
  a lover. I ached for suicide but went nuthouse.
  Shrinks and pills and shocks convinced me
  to put my head in our oven and let it go.
  I thought of our children at the very end.
