Timmy's Journal - 44. Love Lost
I think all marriages go through bad times. That doesn't mean you're fighting, though maybe that slow leak is more dangerous to a marriage than the sudden puncture. I don't know.
I do know Michael and I have been drifting, we had not been as close. We both married for life, for good and bad times. A good marriage is like a house, once you start to let things slide, the house starts to crumble. Our house was in need of repair.
Been married to you for seven years,
but lately it’s like we’ve never met.
You’re a stranger now, who kisses me
—moulds my body for pleasure.
I asked you where you go
when you’re in bed next to me?
The sadness in your eyes then
made me want to weep.
You said, I’m right here babe—
but in your heart you’re not.
Our love had been the strongest river—
flowing — alive — together;
now bifurcated, it is weaker—alone.
I mourned that love, dripping
through fingers I couldn’t close.
I never give up without a fight
It’s not easier just to let things slide
I want us back, want to be we
I think you know, think you see
We make ourselves closer then
Our love has years yet to span
I’m your boy — you’re my man
