dateing someone not over his marriage yet



The X-Wife


You said she left you
and she is only your X now
and,
finally you think
you're over her.

But i feel her presence.

you said you never think about her
anymore,
O.K., maybe once in a while,
but no more than once or twice a day.
She is just a memory.

But how am i suppose to compete against that?

You said she she doesn't live here anymore.
O' but how wrong you are,
she is here in every room
a little part of her
a memory here and there,
like a knick-knack.

I can feel her here
in bed with us
hold on-
I'll move over for her.
There, does she have enough room?
Is she comfortable?

I think I should leave.
I get the picture
It's a little crowded
and you want to be alone with her
ghost.
I scare way to easy.

How can I compete against this?

Three's a crowd.
It's best I go.
I see what the competition is
and I'm way out of my league.
