Are You Listening?
Can I tell you the worst thing I've ever
felt?
It's completely alone in a marriage once
full of love, friendship and hope.
Can I tell you the harshest noise I've ever
heard?
It's the sound of silence when I'm
listening for the harmony of
connectedness. Sweet music we once made
together and loved.
Can I tell you the saddest thing I've ever
seen?
It's the home that we built, where our kids
still play. Knowing it's not where I belong.
Can I tell you the most powerful thing I
will ever say? It is "Enough." And...
Can I tell you the hardest thing I
will ever do? I will leave.
Because God knows I've tried and I'm strong.
And I am ready to feel better.
