I’m tired of you
And you’re tired
of me too
We see it in
each other
and we know what
we must do
But who has
the bed?
There was only
ever one, not two
What about the
fridge? The stereo
and our cat, Moon?
How do you
separate seventeen years
of stuck together?
How do you split
a vow
that was s’posed to
be forever?

is much too soon© Kait King, 2016

35 years here. The feelings ebb and flow. For me that’s how all my my relationships go-except with my kids and grandkids. Wishing you a happy day.

So true! I’m visiting my son and grandbabies in Sweden as we speak! (I’m from NZ) Travel back in November – will be a painfully heartbreaking departure. Worse than any marriage tbh! And happiness to you too, thank you!

It’s never easy to separate one into two. Unfortunately not easy doesn’t mean impossible. Love and peace always my sister xoxo
