Despair

Folder: 
Marriage ?

Despair,

Was in my heart.
Though all the while......
My thoughts,
For you.
Never...........
Changed,

Not for a moment.
Not pain,
Nor a cross word.........
Remembered.
Just,
Deep affection
Love,
Sheer tenderness.
Missed moments.......
Sweet your dreams,
To dull the ache.
The pain
Too much to bear.
That should I die?
Not alone.
Nor in bad company.
Nor for lack of mutual respect
But amongst staunch friends

 

On the field of battle.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sometimes I've felt I was safer in the war.
Than in this so called wedded bliss, "marriage".

I know this feeling well. I often thought, "If the one who is supposed to love me best, thinks I'm so unlovable, what must the rest of the world see?" After 24 years he left, but I had no self-esteem by then. Guess what I learned. All the time, all those years, he was the one with the problem. Too bad we can't decide with our heads who will take our hearts. This was so touching I could FEEL the DESPAIR.
