It was my friends and family that got me through. My writing helped not everything was shared but I put down my thoughts and feelings and it helped. There was no third party in our separation but my wife does have a new partner.
The Unspeakable
.
Monsters come in many guises
They can be all shapes and sizes
This a story of a monster previously known as unspeakable
This is the history of a relationship that is unbreachable
.
Insidious hideous lies in the shadows
My family can’t seem to see him now
When they report the things they have done
My children mention company of all but one
.
He lurks unseen emitting malice
His intentions cruel and callous
Yet to me they cannot speak
Not one mention of the freak
.
This monster takes human form
Most real monsters thats the norm
He can hide in plain sight
Even step out in the light
.
As I ponder my next action
Some of my faculties form a faction
Warrn to be careful a fraction
.I should consider their reaction
.
I find all not as it seems
Scenario nightmare not dreams
Intuitive I sense its schemes
He threatens current regimes
.
However he is all human
Despite all my assuming
They all know he is there
Protecting me children don’t share
.
For this man is no other
Than their Mums new lover
Although I have let her go
Cant share children Never No!
.
I realise I had been weak
So my children wisdom seek
I was not their bodyguard
They protect me although its hard
.
Monster in me jealous
Had made them speechless
To avoid hurting my feelings
Realisation sent me reeling
.
I cannot exclude from their life
New relationship of wife
Though it rends me to the core
Not one male parent there is more
.
A good man with good intentions
Good influence despite my apprehension
So I have opened my eyes
To childrens need I am more wise
.
Previously known as unspeakable
Now seen not a threat at all
In the light I can see him
Just a good man just Jim
.
I dealt with my life after she left stumbling through it not knowing what I was doing. It was hard I am not sure how I survived.
