A Free Prescription

I wasn’t feeling well one day So off to the doc I went I sat in the waiting room patiently Anything but content. My body was shaking Head was pounding to no end Thoughts were running wild The nurse said, “Please. Come in” I sat on the table Blood pressure sky high Waited for the doctor I began to cry He walked into the room A box of tissue came my way The only thing he said “You love him anyway?” This man knows me too well As I sit in my woes Seeing my dream finally end The years that were froze I admitted my fault That I called him back The prescription pad came out And he wrote a big stack We talked for a while As he has watched me mature Almost feeling better I thought he gave me a cure I grabbed the pieces of paper My head hung low A feeling of failure And nowhere to go I left the office swiftly Hoping no one would see The only thing the papers said, “Was to find someone who loves me!” I found myself lost My heart and soul cried out is name I should have known all along I never had his heart to tame. There has never been a loss Greater in my life Than not being able To, again, be his wife
