What Happened to My Marriage

It was as if

we were on a mountain top --

beautiful view, serene scene,

solid footing --

and then,

all of the sudden,

your new best friend

showed up

and the two of you

parachuted off

the mountain together,

leaving me utterly alone.

The moment you left the mountain,

an earthquake erupted,

causing the ground to

disappear from under me.

Ever since, I've been clinging

to a tree root on the side of the mountain;

trying not to die.
