My Preception

My precept ion of reality, has become tainted with time; 
The world seems so bitter, people once friends unkind. 
My phone which once was busy, now is hardly used; 
My heart has turned so cold, tired of being abused. 

Alone I now must sit, things in my life have changed; 
My marriage which once was happy, my X has rearranged. 
The simple pleasures I used to enjoy, seem like a chore to me; 
Happiness once filled my heart, now bitterness is all I see. 

My precept ion of life is different, though I wished it was not so; 
Bitterness now lives, where once love used to grow.
