Longing For Bliss

by cati   Jul 22, 2015


As my heart aches
I try to force a smile
I haven't felt this broken
in a very long while

My co-workers see it
and they comment all day
where is that smile
you've always thrown our way

I've never felt this
a physical pain in my chest
he has managed to hurt me
more than the rest

Have you ever imagined
the most hurtful words ever
coming from your husband
they've made my soul shiver

He doesn't even see
that what he said was wrong
my nights are miserable
and my days insanely long

How can the person
you should always trust
say something so painful
it could make the devil lust

I begged for him to see it
say a simply I'm sorry
but he sees no wrong
and in my eyes that's scary

How do I get past this
make the pain go away
I want to smile again
I want to laugh and play

I want to want my husband
the way I once did
I want to bottle this pain
and super glue the lid

Someone please help me
find a solution to this
I want my smile back
I want eternal bliss
