No Country For Old Men In Love

After being together for years in this marriage The same old routine seems to be wearing thin Something was needed to spark up the flame I would fall victim to thoughts of mistrust When your love life shows signs of rust I was trying to find out the answer But my jealous mind went in a new direction I started wondering who was getting her attention It was the internet that I began to explore Was she interested in someone else I pondered? She’s always talking and getting lots of texts on her cell A fancy I-phone that I can’t figure out I still have a flip phone that I carry about Could an ex lover be the reason? On Facebook there is always a friend search That damn website feels like a curse My jealous instincts have me searching her purse What do I do if something seems out of place? Do I confront her face to face? If I get caught spying on her actions I will blame insanity during my confession This experience has taught me a new lesson Maybe I can choose a new profession I always liked watching The Rockford Files All I need is a Firebird and a trailer near the beach I got the damn trailer ...what a peach She took my money with nary a sigh Her attorney was one creepy dude His hair was died black like Jerry Lewis I had no help and they asked for more money A biased Judge just emptied my wallet Lies were told to insure her decision I never got any Judge to even listen I made every mistake that a man can make I was fighting a hopeless battle Then I developed a skin infection which has required 4 hospital visits Now I have a daily decision Do I pull my plug and end the pain I don't have the guts to complete that mission Nobody cares and I feel so ashamed I should of never took her for granted Some ******* altered my plans for the future He took away someone I really cared for Does anyone wonder what Karma has in store? Silence really can make me crazy Four years and not one family member has shown any love They seem to have forgotten I even exist.
