Sense Sonnet - Acher

Split Decision

Jim caught me having an affair,
And said he wanted a divorce.
As for his money that was there,
I would get none of it of course.
Shortly after that incident,
While we each were living apart,
Jim was in a car accident.
While machines kept pumping his heart,
There was no response from his brain.
Since I still had the legal say,
Did I want machines to maintain
Jim, though in a comatose way?

There'll be consequences, I know.
I signed the forms to let Jim go.
