Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Hearing Hal

A widower I knew Hal be.

Soon after we began to date.

But after Hal did marry me,

I felt burdened by his wife, late.

Hal constantly did talk of her,

Their idyllic time spent in past,

Much better than today for sure.

Once in Hal's mind, long she would last

In my being a victim of

Hal's inability to let

Go, obsessing his first wife's love,

Which got his second wife upset.

Lamenting first wife, dead and gone,

Now I have to hear Hal sigh on.
