The part
Of this
Comes quick
And painless
Leaving it up
Tossing a die
Picking a stone
To hold on to
What could I change?
What I became
Would this have made
You want to?
Try to stay together for the kids
It's easier to forget about yourself
And what's good about you
It's cool and sunny outside
So why the f*ck am I
Near asleep again this afternoon
Best plans
Laid out
Rough sketch
No painting
Adrift
Apart
Bereft
It's telling
Daughter or son
Flat or a house
Credit or debt
We'll make it
What could we change?
What all becomes
Would this have made
A difference
Try to stay together for the kids
Remember what I loved about you
When we met before the mortgage
Piano lessons marriage counselors
In our separate beds
Until I leave and take the boys to school
Sitting with the engine running
You'll never find another half to make you whole
Am I terrified of being alone?
Did you ever love me?
Will you ever forgive me?
