Paul White Poet Rhyme

Gone stale

We live together, but we live a separate life 
We are more like friends than husband and wife.  

There is no intimacy like there was from the start.  

On the day we got married, I gave you my heart.  

As the years rolled by, your love turned stale.  
It was easy to see our marriage would fail.  

I worked so hard to save what we had, but everything I did just seemed to make you mad.  

You started going out; you said with your mates.  
Then I found out you are actually on dates.  

But I still loved you, so I turned a blind eye.  
When alone in our house, I would break down and cry.  

Always the last to know that you love another, but how could this be my wife and our children's mother?  

I asked for the truth, but told me more lies you couldn't even look at me in the eyes.  

You walked out that day with a new man and a new start.  

But I can't move on because you still have my heart.  

I married you because I love you, and I still really care.  

If you ever need someone who still loves you, I will always be there
