wife, after all the sacrifice and pain, decides to walk on the husband
FORGIVE ME DEAR HUSBAND--editor's pick


Forgive me my dear husband,
For, today I walk on you;
But before final goodbye,
I owe this much to tell you:

How much I have loved you these,
Ten years that we were married;
How much I have sacrificed,
How much pain I have carried

For bringing you happiness,
For making this house, a home,
For weaning you away from
Your alcoholic syndrome.

But I am sorry to say,
It looks as if I have failed;
You are not happy with me,
With drinking you have prevailed.

You seem to be unhappy
With my fading facial charm;
You no longer hesitate
To cause me physical harm.

That, too, I could tolerate,
But, not your too devious ways;
Philandering without remorse,
Far away from my embrace!

Forgive me dear husband if,
You are enraged by my act.
But, then, why should this matter,
When I am useless in fact!
