Therapy Session 3

I wonder what goes on 
In her life 
Could she ever understand 
What I'm going through 
Not just understand
But feel what 
I feel 
She's so calm 
When I'm dying
Right in front of her
She keeps the best
Poker face 
When all I want 
Is to see some emotion 
Something so I won't
Feel so alone 
While I try to explain to her 
Something I'm still
Trying to explain to 
Myself
I'm a widow to 
happiness 
And I'm just 
Trying to conceive 
A little bit 
Of joy 
But I'm suffocating 
In my depression 
And I just wished 
She understood 
Me more
I bet if I died 
Right now she'd still
Ask if I were okay 
And as she sat there 
Writing meaningless 
Notes in her notepad 
I wondered 
What goes on 
In her life
