Reflection
Walking around the house
listening to my breathing in the quiet
wondering when it all changed
was it there all along or did it just change over time
feeling alone and confused
knowing it is all wrong and it can't be right again
heart hurts when does the pain go away
or does it just linger like an old ache
pictures surround me
kids laughing memories abound
a decade and more depicted in pictures
yet the true story remains unspoken
clinging to the happier memories
hearing the laughter in my head
knowing I can't fix it anymore
wondering when I stopped trying
Feeling like an outsider watching my life
continue day by day
hour by hour
clock ticking at 3 am and wide awake
listening to your snore and talk
dreams chase you in sleep
hopefully we can meet in the middle and find some peace.....
