Getting Out

This poem was easy for me to understand, but also caused me some probles. The poem is talking about a marriage that failed i believe. The tone of the poem addresses a longing, remembering, nostalgiaic tense. The speaker is telling of all the things they rememebr about the split and how they just went their seperate ways. Yet, when they talk, the love says they are doing well. It talks about the battles that married couples go through and sometimes it just becomes to much to handle. They did what they thought was best for themselves and let go. They compared themselves to inmates because they really could not get out of the situation until they left eachother.
