Get Real

Pandora wants to be
A Perfect Mother,
They don’t exist.
She wants to reacquire
Her old home as hers,
You cannot dwell
In the past.
I left my old life and
Almost all of my old
Possessions,
Fifty-two years of
Memories is all
I kept.
I had to get real.
You lived in a fairy tale
Marriage and life
That crumbled,
You must get real.
Yes, trust is a better
Foundation
Than love,
But you must trust
That your sons
Will understand
You have a life
Friend with whom
To live and share.
If you are unable
To do this,
Then I am left
Wondering what to do,
Find someone new?
