Like a melody in my head
that I cannot forget
you are a symphony of tunes
and our love a sweet duet
every touch every glance
is a lyric I want to taste
so eager am i to hear
each word intimately placed
like a melody in my head
I cannot get out
you are a symphony of tunes
replaying all about
sing to me your dreams
and let me play your song
like a melody in my head
replaying all day long

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

It hasn't even registered yet
has not sunk in my mind
that years of loving and hurting
laughing and crying
all led to regrets
no sorry's, just regrets
He regrets getting caught
I regret not seeing sooner
Now it is all done and over
and I am back to being one
Freedom, he accuses.  That's why I did it
but I dont feel free
just a deep sense of loss...

I am so scared
sweat beading on my forehead
goosebumps rising on my arms

One hour - 60 minutes
is he nervous or glad
happy or mad

He drove me to this moment
I did not ask for this day
I did not ask for this pain

Love, honor, obey; till death do us part
it's almost time; lawyers, witnesses, judge
tears, anger, frustration - Divorced!!

My beloved
how I miss you so,
the gentle fall and rise of your chest
the sweet laughter from your eyes.

Like a bird with no wings
I am grounded
stumbling on a pebbled sidewalk
of forgotton memories and regrets.

Come back to me my beloved
stumble with me on this pebbled sidewalk
and let us at least remain lost together.

With these words, I thee wed..
I think I'd rather be dead

For richer or poorer, till death do us part
See the theme, now where do I start?

Been rich, been poor and I am still alive
sadly, rest of my marriage took a nose dive

We loved, we lost. We laughed, we cried
He made me promises, of course he lied

"forever baby, just you and me"
till the end of time we will be

That lasted a few short years
after that, nothing but tears

More and more girls came in and out
while I love, honered, and obeyed.  What was that about!!

Time and again I kept on forgiving
Time and again you kept on cheating

Thought you would repent, but you dont know how
Enough is enough, I'm leaving you now

The keys are on the table and please dont pout
I'll shut the door on my way out.

Close your eyes
and picture this..
you and me
and our first kiss
Open your lids
so you can see
how your lips
feel to me
So soft and gentle
and spicy too
Can I have
a taste of you?
Just a nibble,
maybe a bite
Come here,
let me hold you tight
Close your eyes
and picture this
you and me
and our first kiss
