Sonnet

I'm certain that we've always been this way,
just didn't notice that we weren't in sync.
You act surprised to hear that I won't stay
and I'm too bored to tell you what I think.

I'm sure that looking back we'll both agree
that one of us was bound to make this choice.
Your anger is displayed so easily
'cause I have given you the victim's voice.

You may not ever thank me for this gift,
though I do hope you'll find your common sense.
You'll realize we'd nothing left to give
and thank the Lord I didn't keep you fenced.

Today you're sure you'll hate me through your life
but I was never meant to be your wife.
