IT DOESN’T JUST HAPPEN TO ME

I got up this morning and looked at my wife,

She looked back at me and said: “I’m leaving tonight.”

Not even a cup of coffee before the crap started,

I showed her my finger then got in the shower.

The water was cold, she used all the hot water,

Couldn’t find the soap, why even bother.

She said her goodbye in a way I could understand,

All my money was gone, she had a new man.

She asked for a divorce, I sais okay by me,

Now her new husband is sleeping where I use to be.

She got the house, she got the car,

She got the dog, even the money I saved in a jar.

When it’s all said and done, what have I gained,

An ex-wife, a new home, a life without pain.
