Sadness Overcome

Tell me why the tears are flowing/ Sadness overcome. I kissed him every night before bed/ I must always be the one.  It is rarely returned, his lips I have not touched/ It is never reciprocated. It's far to much! Each morning before he goes to work , I must be the one to go to him. For him to come and kiss me/the chances are so slim. Does he not understand the pain that that causes/ is this because of my flaws? So often I sit and I Ponder/ this causes my mind to wander. Does he have affection for another/ is this something I must uncover? There was a time when you were happy , we were partners he and I. Now all I do almost everyday , is sit alone and cry. I suffer from many ailments I think he doesn't see/ I strongly believe he misses the old me. My diseases enable me to do many things/ he thinks I'm losing my mind ,  I wish I had wings. To be able to fly away , free as a bird/ and there would be nothing but silence/not even a word. Sadness has overcome me , I am totally lost/ I want these feelings to stop - to stop at any cost. ~mp (c)
