I'm terrified
With the idea
That our undoing
Might become the
Latest addition to my
Vast list of shortcomings
Yesterday my wife said she wants to move out. I know she meant it and I can't say that I blame her, for I wouldn't want to stay married with my current self either. I really hope that I can make her come around. I'm just not sure how.

I recall a
A year given
To
Travelling,
It was a
"Get over a breakup thing"

The first thing I learned,
Wherever you go,
There you are

One time at
Nigeria falls,
All I could think
"If only she was here to experience this with
Me"

But hey, I don't do sad
Well, not for long,
She just wasn't for me,
Just took a while
To see

One day
That
Sadness
Just leaves,
Like snowflakes
On the
Breeze

I waited for you at midnight
to wish you a Happy New Year.
The minute passed.
Reality struck.
Your lips occupied another.
Time.
The great reminder  
not to waste another year.
Waiting.

I hide behind my  glasses
Out of kindness for you
For With these eyes
you stop mid-sentence
lose your thought
dream a new life
They are the perfect weapon
To make you fall in love

I grew up the perfect child.
Seen but never heard.
Painfully aware of the mood in the room
And grew up way too soon.
Suppressed any hint of emotion
To make life easier for them.
And played the part of the perfect child
Receiving the bare minimum.

I pout
I shout
I mull around
Looks with daggers
Silent anger
Seething sighs
Rolling eyes
But I’d probably die without you.

All the little ponies
Are standing on the hill
Gaze out across the valley
Wild mustang regal and wear
Asks smallest pony to himself
Why magestic am I nere?
No wings to glide along the clouds
Refused legs lean and long?
Nor was I gifted and bestowed
sprouted horn upon my crown

Then jumps nearby a frog to he
and startles neigh a-fright
Upon which he did rear and stomp
Squashing frog among the leaves
And pony never asked again
For perspective gained release.
The pony had friends, a beautiful view, food, and life but was jealous of the mustang and could have had the life of a frog.
