I stare into space
all day long,
thinking of the things
that just went wrong.

My spirit becomes dark
as I go through the day,
When my thoughts dwell
on how you decided to stray?

The emptiness I feel
is so very strong,
knowing how you would
always sing him a song.

I lie on my side
when you think that I sleep,
as I hold my heart
and I quietly weep.

When I do finally sleep
I fear what I dream,
because I may wake
with a silent scream.

I'll sit on the stairs
so that I can cry,
sometimes wishing
I would just rather die.

Long since I've slept
and I feel so tired,
while with him
you made me feel undesired.

I wish you would have had faith
in our marriage and love,
so instead of him
it's us you'd have thought of.

You came back to me
when you two were through,
I couldn't help but feel
that I was second best to you.

The character of a person is defined by their actions...not their intentions. Otherwise, the world would be full of Saints.
