Late Night Thoughts
My worst fear came alive again last night
My heart dropped and my face went pale with fright
I wanted to shut down completely
But I knew I wouldn't do it discreetly
So I sat solemn faced behind my deck of cards
Who knew that holding back would be so hard?
You told me that you think of me as your wife
That you're so happy I'm a part of your life
But yet my soul started to ache
And my body began to quake
The reality finally settled in
Dark and foreboding as sin
Driving home I wanted to die
My whole life felt like a lie
Her perfect face was all I could see
My mind was buzzing like an angry bee
Never ending crystal tears clouded my vision
I knew I had to make a decision
Should I end my life or keep on living?
Neither one is very forgiving.
But a voice whispered to me through my cries
And told me I didn't have to die
It's not my place to determine my fate
God simply told me to wait... it's not too late
My life is worth so much more
So I can't wait to see what's in store.
