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.
