Loveless Marriage

December 2018

It's really no fun, when the one you love

Makes promises they don't keep.

It's not right, it's not fair,

When they act like you're not there,

Even though you're in the same room.

I should have known right from the start,

That you were playing with my heart,

But I thought I'd give us a chance,

Now I wish I never had,

At least it's something that can be fixed.

Yes, you said you're a gamer,

I didn't realize you're addicted,

Never realized you're obsessed

They call it a gaming disorder

It greatly affects your mental health.

You won't get help, you say nothing's wrong,

But you don't think about how it affects me.

We're not living, we're existing

It's now a roommate situation,

And I cannot live like that.

You say you hate living here

And I can't/won't live in a loveless marriage,

You keep threatening to leave

Well, I'm not stopping you

It's over, take your stuff and go.
