I wrote this on December 13, 2006, after a really, really big fight. It was hardly our first fight, but at that point I had had quite enough with her as she continued to damage our relationship so that we'd end up in divorce.

My Monologue

I married you
    Thought we’re alike
We went adrift
    From one more fight

You did not see
    What you did do
You made me - me
    You stopped being you

I had a life
    I had a dream
All I asked from you
    Was not to scream

You’re very loud
    You won’t shut up
For family’s sake
    I did put up

I asked you to
    Put up as well
You said you can’t
    Like go to hell

You will not change
    You claim you’ll try
You go back to
    Your previous style

You always cry
    From the smallest pain
You sulk, get mad
    Always complain

I gave up hope
    I live alone
When we grow old
    You can’t atone

I write this now
    My seven-year itch
So truth be told
    You are a bitch

I gave you all
    While we were one
You gave me naught
    Except our son

My love for him
    Makes up my hate
For you my wife
    It seems my fate

He makes me smile
    He is my cheer
I thank you God
    That much is clear

I do not know
    What lies ahead
With him, the world,
    I do not dread

I live with you
    Like siblings do
We fight so much
    Why do we do?

You blamed me for,
    When we got wed,
Not being rich
    Is what you said

You assumed much
    I did not lie
When I first met you
    You stretched a lie

I had a job
    Was pleasant too
I told you jokes
    Your family too

I was myself
    You know that’s so
But all you cared
    Was for my parents’ dough

You knew I was
    Too proud to ask
You said you too
    Through your mask

You told me stuff
    I held to heart
You spun a tale
    You had an art

I found this out
    As time passed by
You claimed the truth
    But we knew the lie

I blamed your mom
    For what you do
I thought you pure
    I was a fool

I faked my love
    I told you yes
You faked it all
    I failed the test

Time passed us by
    We went adrift
We moved so far
    Our worlds had shift

I stuck with you
    We’re supposed to do
You hinted divorce
    Might come through

Not once or twice
    Did you mention it
But at least five times
    When I was counting it

I think you need
    Some shrink’s advice
Of course you’d claim
    They’re all my lies

You don’t know what
    The truth is now
You’ve merged it all
    Confused it, how?

You claimed all couples
    Were like us still
You were so wrong
    And wrong are still

I really wish
    This hadn’t passed
But that’s what happens
    When you’re an ass

If you really cared
    About being a wife
You’d have told your mom
    To get a life

You are my wife
    A mother too
But being a daughter
    Was all you knew

You haven’t got
    The will to try
And thus we’re stuck
    Until we die

You were my bitch
    When you were sweet
Now you’re a bitch
    No more a treat

Is this the end
    It’s hard to tell
You may think that
    I caused this spell

I am not pleased
    To say the least
But re-read my song
    And curb the beast.
