WORDS SPOKEN

Outside these four walls the world shines brilliantly, but within them, a love has fallen between the cracks. I listen and try to understand the heaviness of life that is upon your shoulders. Remembering when just saying hello could soothe your heart and soul. Now I could do nothing, say nothing that would bring peace within these walls. Words of hate have shattered my life and I wonder, can I fix this mess called a marriage? I think not.

My life consists of words painstakingly etch deeply upon my heart. Bewildered I am at your eagerness to blame me for all the ills of your life. No longer are the words camouflaged. They fling freely to express loathing toward me. Striking at will, with heart felt slashing blows, against my all ready thinning armour.

Your sharpened tongue lay waste to my soul. I find myself choking on my own silence. Emptiness overwhelms me as I drown in my own insanity. I grow deaf from weariness and I lack the strength to stay so without a word I walk out the door. Leaving shattered pieces of a love lost, a life wasted and memories of words that once were of love.

WOW I wasn't ready for that. I can say I have been there in a way. I know the feeling of being lost and yet trapped at the same time.. I think you do too.. Heavy Thoughts

You have told a long, sad story in a few brief paragraphs. Sometimes that is not an easy thing to do. Good for you!

So well written! You were able to make me feel the pain and hurt that is described here. I think it is an outstanding piece of writing.
