A relationship with an ex is the ultimate comfort <br />There is a certainity about it <br />A constancy to their unvarying dislike of everything you did <br />And anything that you do now. <br /> <br />Not many things in life are as set in stone <br />as the scorn you have for the ex and they for you <br />The love may never have been, <br />but the dislike is certainly mutual now. <br /> <br />Other people can come and go <br />And your heart may bounce like a yo-yo <br />But your ex's distrust of you is constant and everlasting <br />the consistency of the emotion - so comforting. <br /> <br />Knowledge, as they say, is power <br />Indeed it is powerful to know <br />where you stand with your ex <br />Nowhere. <br /> <br />Nowhere do you figure in the ex's life <br />The certainity of that statement gives security <br />There is no more turmoil, <br />no more anticipation, no waiting for something to change. <br /> <br />The only emotion that remains in-between is distaste <br />Never changing, never wavering, <br />never altering dislike, distrust and distaste (sometimes disgust!) <br />How perfectly reassuring!<br /><br />Zen Woman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/divorce-can-be-reassuring/
