No More

by Sylvia   Dec 4, 2008


My heart is heavy with sorrow.
There is no more that I can give to you.
Your needs, I can no longer meet,
for you have sucked the life from me.

My darling, you have taken everything;
my soul is bankrupt and empty.
Still I stay because of the vows I made,
before God on our wedding day.

"I, take you, to be my husband,
to have and to hold from this day forward,
for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish;
from this day forward until death do us part."

    When a marriage is no more then an empty shell, it's time to draw a conclusion...
    To some this may not seem like an option, but happiness cannot be found in the arms of someone who lost all feelings for you..

    Hugs dear lady,

    5/5 Ingrid
