Noctambulist

He sleepwalked through our wedded years. We pledged, despite my mother's fears of differences, I couldn't see. He swore undying love to me; but all is not what it appears. I tolerated neighbor's sneers quietly holding back the tears amid the marital debris; he sleepwalked through. It's sad when love just disappears and wanders off to new frontiers. Today I got the last decree; I hope they're happy he and she. He's gone and left no souvenirs; he sleepwalked through.
