Staring beside the clock on the night stand, watching the sun enter the room
Giving light to all my dreams
Wide awake in bed, arms are wrapped around my waist
As I lay and pray
For the strength to up and leave, get dressed and grab my keys
Your love is keeping me
Staring beside the clock on the nightstand
Gotta force myself to get up, if I could only have the strength
As I lay I close my eyes and pray
For the strength to up and leave
Those big brown eyes are now awake
Talking about coffee and making pancakes
Kisses in between as we prey, for the strength to up and leave
One another’s arms to face reality, but you love is keeping me
Get up and start our day, I take in our loving home
As you stand there cooking by the stove
God I love a man that cooks, Eat our food and up and go
Get dressed and grab the keys
Where my life begins without you
8 misery filled hours, its 8 hours I’m away from you
Come home to football games and loving arms wrapped around me
Telling me you always loved me and always will
Yelling at the game as we eat out weekly meal
It’s routine and you love it
Now it’s time to go to bed, start this day all over again
The whisky from tonight dinner, got me feeling frisky
You keep trying for a little one to share our home
Keep saying that all we need to make our family complete
And you close your eyes and pray, praying for patience
It’s been 4 long years and you still keep on praying
What you don’t know is after every single dinner, I take my birth control
Keep on praying it don’t fail with all these whisky nights
It’s routine and I love it
It’s morning once again and I’m thinking about work today
Where I live my life without you
8 misery filled hours, 8 hours away from you
Every night before I sleep, I get down on one knee
Close my eyes and I pray, I pray
For strength to up an leave get dressed and grab the keys
I pray and I pray
Your love is keeping me, handcuffed to misery
I know once it’s done, there ain’t no coming home
So I keep holding on just a little more
Hoping for change, maybe one day you’ll see
Open up those big brown eye
See what loving you has done to me
I know it sounds so mean, plotting my escape so keen
Staring beside the clock on the night stand at my key on top my purse
Close my eye and pray
For strength to up and leave
Get dressed and grab my keys
Standing at the front door
I take my last look around out loving home
Where I hate our routine life
Where I hate being you wife
Think about my **** hole job, That I love
Cause every hour I’m there, I’m away from you
But I think about your arms, wrapped around me
Telling me you always loved me and always will
I know once it’s done aint no coming home again
Open the door to leave just before I cross the threshold
Staring at the morning sun, giving light to all my dreams
I hear you in the room think back to those brown eyes one last time
I dropped my key and purse right, right there by the door
Closed the door to all of my dreams
your love is keeping me
Look down to hold my stomach, got the news just last week
Our whisky filled Sundays have betrayed me
I know once you know, I’ll give birth to all our dreams
There aint no leaving after that
Before I close my eyes tonight, I thank the lord for never letting me leave
Hand cuffed to misery

I've had writers block so I tried something new. Not my usual, I'm more of a personal poet. I usually write about my own experience but creating something I never lived was really new to me.
