The End Of A Marriage

Ten years of marriage, gone in a second
She stopped loving the father of her children
Giving herself to another in bed
Her wedding ring, mere jewelry

Heartbroken, betrayed, feeling suicidal
Maybe he will kill then both first. What, and give them an eternity together
She doesn't deserve that

Kissing his children goodbye he leaves
If this is what she wants, let her have it
Knowing he will never love again
It's not worth all of the pain

He's gone, she tells her lover
Tomorrow I'll file for divorce
I've something to tell you he says, I'm going back to my wife
Irony, the cheater being cheated on, and with his own wife no less
What goes around comes around
And ain't that the truth
