I saw a picture of a couple and 

A couple of years ago had I been in this situation I 

Woulda tripped

I woulda 

Been in my feelings so mad at

How you mis-

Represented yourself

How our picture could have been perfect too 

Way deeper than the photograph itself 

Now I put those feelings on the shelf when I start blaming myself for your deceit 

I’m an open book and your a locked diary

It’s only a matter of time.

And time isn’t on your side.

Your wife has one foot out the door and 

On my way out our wedding portrait falls on the floor 

It shatters and

It tatters

Broken

I leave it right there 

Because that picture 

Is the realest photo we ever had 

Picture

Friends First

Divorce, Separation, Relationship, Argument, Conflict

Momma said 

“You should be able to look at your partner across the most crowded room and 

Simply know from his look that he got you”

Momma was right but 

hindsight is clearer than foresight 

I got his front back and sides

Because I am a lover

Because I don’t front about me and mine

But he’s undercover 

A foe dressed as a friend

I’m so tired of playing pretend and

I’m so tired of cold nights under covers next to

him looking

Still looking for a friend

I find myself mending a friendship that never was because 

I’m still in that crowded room

Still searching for “us “…..
