Time Isn’t Time At All

It seems the second that I left

You were not on your own

Were you wishing between breaths

That I’d get up be gone

Finding comfort with another

Didn’t take you very long

Pushing me into the gutter

Where you think that I belong

You’re still surrounded by it all

Yet telling me to be strong

Loved ones wall to wall

Without me it feels wrong

At night I reach for nothing

For memories I can’t touch

The dreams are all but crushing

The sadness all too much

If you were to reconsider

Spread your arms let me come home

Understand now I am bitter

For you haven’t been alone

It’s been three short months

After our thirteen years

I know we had our slumps

And both shed many tears

Time they say will heal

Broken hearts from love so long

But time you seem to steal

So quickly bringing him along

I long to be there with you

With our children in our home

But alas you brought him into

Our home our bed how come

You treat me like a friend

But a stranger is how I feel

I know it’s just pretend

Though you play the part with zeal

The time arrives post haste

I will not message you or phone

For my life I won’t waste

On you I’d rather be alone
