today i discovered something i thought i’d forgotten..
rationality
you see, she’s a serial monogamist
she loves, and then is left, and then she loves again
again and again
she was left last in january 2007
she fell into my arms in may,
with no time to grieve, or recover herself from the depths of
betrayal and deception
we weren’t ready,
we clung on for dear life and maybe, just maybe,
this is our undoing..
maybe we’ve served our purpose, and it’s time to move on..
maybe not..
she has two weeks although
she will never know of the deadline,
she will never need to..
If i don’t turn around and escape the toxicity and poisoning of my heart
i will leave.. and try not to look back
although for that i will not offer any guarantees
But, you see
As a Serial Monogamist
She won’t leave me for the instructor
She won’t have an affair
She can’t
It is not in her makeup
Because with him, it will never be monogamy – he is already married
serial monogamy is not a dirty phrase..
i’m not sure why it’s been seen as such..
very rarely has a phrase caused me so much comfort and release..
