Life Mattered

Every day and everything,
a constant struggle.
  More than a few missing
pieces to the puzzle.

  A whole lot of baggage,
so much fear.
  I fell apart when you
left me here.

  Face to face,
I was staring.
  At a heart no
longer caring.

  It seems every day
it gets a little worse.
  I wish I could have
 forgotten you first.

  I need to get rid
Of this strife.
  You changed the way
I live my life.

  The day comes and
You look back.
  Trying to make-up
For all, you lack.

  I saw hatred when
She stared at me.
  I was speechless,
I found it hard to breathe.

  The blow that love 
Delivered.
  In fetal position,
I lay there and shivered.

  It's been two years,
She is really gone.
  Took a chance on love,
I found out it was wrong.

  I remember when;
Life mattered.
  Nothing left of me,
I'm broken and shattered.

"Thoughts are things!" Those who dwell on the past are doomed to repeat it, so keep your mind on what you want to happen and off what you don't want to happen! Aloha!

Hello Debbie Middaugh, yes it hurts when the spouse you have has lost the love for you. It leaves you shattered. Hugs.
