That Morning

"THAT MORNING."


I woke up sober and 
that was when I felt. 
I knew what city I was 
in and I knew where 
my car was at. I even 
knew where she was 
but we were both lost. 

I walked around my 
house, it was a Monday 
morning. I could see 
where I wanted her to be. 
in all that fighting 
one tends to forget 
what he really wants. 

I walked into my living 
room, I could see where 
we had laughed, cried and 
??cked. 

I looked at myself in 
the mirror, "hi Eddie,"
I said, "it was hell giving 
her your love wasn't it?"
"well yeah, hard when 
she wants every other 
man instead of me!" 
I answered. 

I grabbed my bottle of 
wine and drank what 
was left. 
I sat in my chair, 
thinking of all the times 
she sat behind me full 
of anger. 
I always knew she was 
there but angry or not 
I had her and she had 
me. 

she fought with me 
trying to get me to love 
and when I found it, 
she lost it. 
it was then I knew I 
had something she 
could never get back.
