I lost you
Over a decade ago.
With very little warning sign,
With so many unanswered questions.
I’ve moved on,
Forgiven you,
I’ve ler go,
Why can’t you?
I close my eyes,
I dream of you.
Always the same one,
Me begging you, to love us.
You come home drunk,
We argue,
You lie,
I keep holding on.
You say,
“no I haven’t been drinking.”
I’m looking right at you,
The eyes tell me different.
Your actions,
Your smell,
Your slurring,
Stammering.
Lies,
I’m crying,
I’m just so tired of it all,
Why can’t you just love us?
You brought destruction
Home with you,
You brought disease
Home with you.
Why can’t you let me go?
I can’t do these dreams anymore.
Please, go.
