(Brexit love letter).
We met in '73
you immediately attractive
exotic then, foreign, exciting
my head turned, beguiled
and we were in bed in no time.
It was the little things you did differently
I was eager to please you
we worked together, played, loved
and built a fine home,
life was good, I admired your vivacity.
Why wasn't it enough for you?
you changed gradually,
from lover to monster
a controlling hydra
with other partners
all eager to wear my clothes.
So I'm leaving you, decision made
although half of me is unsure
I'm worth more than this,
a fresh start, before I lose
myself forever in your tangled web.
