Life Changes

Life changes and people move on...

My eyes fill with tears
Tracks trail down my checks
As I watch my husband leave
I watch as my life takes a turn
A turn, unexpected... unwanted
But I am no longer what he wants
And to be honest....
I am not sure he is all I need.
Our life cracked years ago;
Time and separate interests
pushed the fissure wider,
Until I see him pass me in the hall
Without a word
Or a smile
And I feel lost and alone.
I want to reach out;
Not give up on the us that was,
But he has clearly decided
I am not his soul mate.
I have pushed him too far
And he is done.
Done giving me love
Done giving me attention.
He says I don't care enough.
I don't do enough.
To him... I am not enough
And that hurts...
But I am stronger than this.
I won't stay where I am not wanted.
I reach out for my friends,
For my family.
To them I am enough.
I am loveable.
I am loving.
And I will survive this...
