Happier times??
In happier times
Together always, and also apart
Smiling on the outside, crying inside
Holding hands, mile high walls between us
In happier times
Joined by paper, by properties
By kids, by work, by bills,
By love, by hurt, by hate, by hurt
In happier times
Music throughout, wrong music but music
Watching tv, wrong shows, but together right?
Dinner together, one ate and one cooked cleaned served
Happier times??
And now – alone and yet not alone
Friends, family, strangers
Sometimes crying outside
But then .. smiling on the inside
No longer joined by paper, properties
Work, bills, love hurt hate hurt
No more bad music, no more wrestling
Dinner together – with kids and two goldfish
Finally –happier times
