Dead End of a Marriage
You know both of us never wanted this,
our lives now are anything but bliss.
I can't wake up in the morning feeling joy,
instead I feel like I'm a broken toy,
Never to be repaired and set in a box,
and not knowing how to undo the locks.
Locks that you've set up in your heart,
and yet I wonder if they were there from the start.
Pleaded my case, mind and heart to you my dear wife,
feeling that I have no choices in my life.
If you want everything to end then just say it,
and I will end my devotion although hard to admit.
I still imagine waking up to you by my side,
you know you can't sit back and say I didn't try.
We're both at the dead end of a marriage.
I've tried everything I know to try and win back your trust and love,
seems like the future of our lives is determined by the almighty up above.
