Twelve Months Broken-Hearted

Twelve months later
I’m struggling for a motivator
To get me up in the morning
My life at present is stagnant and boring

Mixed feelings about my ex-wife
Am I missing her from my life?
Yes I’ve dated many people
But none have reached the height of her steeple

I miss the companionship 
I’m on constant guilt trip
I think about her every day
When I see her it makes my day

How can I move on from this abyss?
Of desolate lands which the world will dismiss
A black hole in darkness of space
Reminds of the taste of overcooked mace

Do I continue this lie?
And keep looking through my glass eye
Or do I try and be strong
Identify where things went wrong

I need to sort out my life
Perhaps even have a chat to the ex-wife
Is the marriage salvageable or is this a blind spot
Or shall I just un-tie our love knot

Crying is not the answer 
I need to eradicate this cancer
That consumes my world at present
Life is not a television segment
