She slams the door
You hear the lion’s roar
What am i waiting for?
You gave your share
She doesn’t care
I say life isn’t fair
She broke your heart
And tore you apart
I stay and did my part
She made you cry
And destroy your life
Still, i can’t say goodbye
She said love is gone
You said you can’t run
I know because i’m dumb
Through it all
And all the fall
What are we hoping for?
She won’t return
The bridge was burned
I know it’s now my turn
You slam the door
I hear the lion’s roar
What am i waiting for?
You wait for her
As i stare
You said you are imprisoned
You can’t let go
I understand
Because i also feel the reason.

Expressing what so many have felt. I also write my pain and sorrow, journaling daily, writing stories and poetry,mand letters that I just send to myself. 43 years together and then nothing, no communication, not a word. The coldest heart , the deepest wounds. Sharing does help, doesn’t it? I love your words. Hang in there.

Sure it does. As Maya Angelou once said “There is no greater agony than bearing an Untold Story inside you.” Thanks Toni for sharing your thoughts. Take Care.

This one resonates with me–my husband didn’t give me a reason to stay, so I left.
