Divorce

Woke up suddenly thinking I heard crying.
Rushed through the dark house.
Stopped, remembering. Stood looking
out at bright moonlight on concrete.

You'ld think if she was to continue having an affair and lying about it, she would know that I would see the cell phone bill eventually, or that the kids might mention something.

Both happenned.
