Broken Mind

I try so to remember
just how I felt before
you decided I'm not needed
that someone needs you more
so here I sit without you
our children by my side
they have no understanding
of things I can't confide
mommy isn’t happy
she wants to find her way
with us or without us
as long as it’s her day
to get all that she's wanted
to ease her broken mind
to see just what can surface
behind the broken lines
sometimes it just takes foresight
to understand the whys
but in the end indifference
is all that’s left behind
so go and mend your fences
the world is there to see
but when you find direction
my love still waits for thee

I don't have the words

(actually I do)

and if I were inclined to share them they might sound like "She-does-not-deserve-you"

um

if I were inclined to speak my mind, that is...

and smile? Kiss the kids twice for me, and Makayla? "don't chew on daddy's power cord"

come see us soon, love.

This made my arms ache. ("She" is always welcome too--because, um. she'll be back.)

Much love to you.
