I knew the look on her face
before when she had struggled
back towards daylight
and her eyes seldom revealed
the guarded edge of her pain

Then I saw her find
a new love
a magical, soul opening
brave beauty
and I knew her joyful
heart by
The look on her face

Now I can barely stand
to see the jagged
edges of her broken heart
and shattered spirit
that is so visible in
The look on her face

And I already know
that soon
she will be
polished pink marble
as cold as
The look on her face

Where is the wonderful man I married?
The one I loved
The one I cherished
Because he’s not here!

Where is the man who was
Filled with life
Filled with desire
Filled with passion
Because he’s not here!

My heart aches with sorrow
My heart aches with pain
Because he’s not here!

I miss my husband
I miss my lover
I miss my friend
I miss my companion
Because he’s not here!

Things change, people change
But my heart is still the same

All this
Because he’s not here

The truth I will  reveal
There’s a ***** inside of me
One I hope you will never see
I’d hide it away
Forever and a day
If I had my way

I can be petty and mean
Yell, swear and scream
Be unreasonable
Unrelenting
Never thinking
I might be wrong

Oh no instead
My position I always defend
Sometimes until the bitter end

This may be more
Than you bargained for
Or are willing to contend

So hear these words
I will be different
My new heart grew

So **** the wicked shrew
Who ruled before
I met you
