For my ex wife
For my ex
It’s time to say goodbye, to you my Lynne Marie.
Goodbye to all my hopes, and far to distant memories.
A friend she pointed out, that ill never be ok.
If over you I can’t get, and to put our past away.
I told her that this, would be the hardest thing to do.
The years in my life I was happy, were the ones I spent with you.
I told her there was nothing wrong, when I pushed your love away.
And how it eats my insides like acid, till this very day.
I told her how you helped with dad, when he was very ill.
She knows about the love we shared, that again we never will.
It’s coming up on ten years now, I hope that time will do .
That I’ve dragged myself thru broken glass, for what I did to you.
I’m tuning off the memories, that keep playing in my mind.
Because somewhere in this world I’ve left me far behind.
You see I stopped living, waiting for us to be ok.
And it seemed that in a breath, ten years upped and slipped away.
