Fried

I sit here wondering

"How the hell did I end up here?" and

"Was she really worth it?"

In my six by eight space

I contemplate what it will be like.

Not spending my days with her

Gnawing at me every day,

Instead spending them waiting for the inevitable.

I always suspected her infidelity, but my suspicions were never confirmed until a friend spilled the beans.

No one thought I'd ever walk away.

They were right. I didn't.

Instead I extinguished her like an old cigar.

Had anyone asked, I'd have scoffed at the idea

that I could commit such a brutal act.

However, as I sit here waiting

for a thousand volts to course through my body,

quelling my existence on this earth,

I'll do so with a quiet comfort that

We've both gotten.....

just what we deserved.
