Young him
Younger her
Dashing
Photogenic
Popular 
Good rhetoric
His spell on her 
Passionate 
Rediculous 
He graduate 
Says he wait
Make a mountain of happiness
So they can escape
She promise mom she'd finish school
But he in the army 
So after high school she gone just like that 
Smooth 
Stationed in paradise 
He showers her with ambrosia 
Fruits of the gods 
Everything she need 
Teach her to drive 
He give her free
Doom and gloom she persists through
While he in the field doing his duty
He come home 
Smiling
she tells him 
Our two will be  three 
As she rubs her belly
Elevated ethereal feelings 
Endorphins flowing from them they poured
That's when she said
Our three will be four
16 months after he felt like his blessings 
Were done
Along with a daughter she gave him
A son
Spirit bomb 
His daughter 
Daddys girl 
Follow him everywhere 
She drink from his cups
His son
The namesake 
He scrape his knee
Told to stand up
Strong 
Hold ya head up
Never wrong
Be proud
No other bond could compensate
To the one who shared his name
In the boys eyes he knew held his ultimate vice
Then
Then the sun set in paradise 
His tenure fulfilled he earned his way home
Family in tow
Along with his service
It seemed
their happiness was gone
Spirit bomb
Ragged wenches she curses out
His infidelity 
Her misunderstanding 
His arrogance 
Her shaking the past in his face like a wet rag
His repeated attempts at repentance resembling perpetual resentment toward what was his right hand 
Now it's bland
Back to back in the bed 
Back to back missed movie nights
He struggling 
She strangling tugging wrangling 
He weeping shamefully wishing he could take it all back
She love him
But not like she used to
Files for divorce papers on baby girls first day of school
Now he reeling restless revealing how he can't be without his kids 
Through the sting of fire tears
His pleas she listens
He speaks she bears witness
But all she can hear is what he told to his mistress
As he laid with her 
Rubbed her back and whispered to her 
Like he does with me
She thinks 
All she can hear is the crack in her heart as it falls out of place
So close to the sun 
wings of wax
Felled from grace 
As the saying goes 
she heard what she hear
He shamefully accepts 
The fruits of his labor
What he'd done.... 
Because at this point 
her heart 
Deserted 
Cold 
Numb
Spirit bomb
