Painful
Sitting here in a bed that once was mine
but now it isn't
A hot night, lovely and abandoned
A constant feeling of lost love and intimacy
Watery eyes is often a daily effect
the end has arrived
A thought of a brand new beginning
was sorely crushed and shattered
When my love was rejected, once again
my pillows felt my pain, the soaking of the blanket
and sheets had felt the tears my eyes had rained
I positioned myself gracefully to my side of the bed
as he lay there drenched in the covers
from his feet up to his head
I listen to silence, for words are no spoken
but all that is said is heard
for actions speak louder than words
I cooked the other night
worked all throughout the day
to wake up in the morning
and find the food still on his plate
I cry all the time
He does what he wants, stays out late
the phone never rings, throughout the whole entire day
I want to leave, I want so badly to escape
all the hurt and all the pain
just take my daughter and run away
I pray one day I have the strength
to do what needs to be done
to leave this man, to leave this house
before my spirit is gone
