A Marriage Story

Two married hearts still in love torn by anger.

Staring at the dark I lie awake in my bed Brown eyes wide open Filled with words unsaid The screams ringing in my ear His face flashing before my eyes The tears falling down his cheek I ask myself why Was the love not enough? Where did we go wrong? I don't know how it happened It was so good for so long The smile was always there Hiding the pain behind Tears were always masked In the rain of time First time that I saw him I fell in love in two seconds His charming personality In my heart got a check in I was his only one His darling dear forever And he my sweet honey We were to part never But I always wanted more More than he ever wanted For my voice to be heard Nothing I now daunted It struck him like lightening Our world came crumbling down But we we're never happy It was just the smile of a clown I wanted to go my way And I got it in the end But I still love him so much That it really makes no sense. I wanted it to sort out But the wave was so strong It tore us apart, I’m sorry I know that I was wrong. ............................................... I sit on the couch wide awake A bottle of wine half spilled The TV on with no sound I can't seem to fall asleep The bed is cold without her The house empty without her laugh Everything so plain without her mess My soul empty without her half It was a Storm brewing since long I had seen it in her eyes But did nothing to calm it down Too busy trying to touch the sky I did a few things wrong Got carried away at times I wish I could turn it all back With just a flick of the dime Should have sat on this couch with you And heard you when you spoke And intently should have thought about All you said in your talks Should have done what you wanted Not be a selfish man I'm sorry honey for all I vet done I'm sorry from you I ran It’s all a dirty mess now With lawyers and their laws But if I could restart it again I would have loved you without a flaw. I love you and always will For you ensured my survival Without you I'm a dead man Calling you for my revival

Love this piece! Real life action, and personal to me as well. Those who realize what is lost become suddenly aware of what they could have done to save the best thing they had. But going back to the former comfort of a relationship seems to be a losing battle, especially when wasted time is spent apart, And trying to reconcile after the tragedy, seems awkward, as if you don’t know each other anymore.
