Life Goes On
She looked at me with those crying eyes and ripped open a wound that had just begun to heal. It isn't the pain and sorrow of realizing something is over as much as it is the fear associated with being alone when you've been together so long. As I conveyed to her, that emotionally, I had already moved on, her disbelief was unexpected. This is a woman who has lied, cheated, deceived me for years, and now, after beginning the healing process, she had salted the wound by refusing to believe. Funny thing is, after all these years, after all that pain, I still felt somewhat sorry and even guilty. Sure, I admit I share in the responsbility of the broken dreams and lost fairytales, but this demise had been a long time coming. It's different now, no matter what, there's a chill in the air. We will always share the parenting duties of our children, but don't for a minute believe we are friends. No, that's too difficult and as the shock wears off, the temperature decreases and life? Well, life just goes on, doesnt it?
