Reallity

Reality

She has cried many tears caused by my lies.
I can never give back what I've taken away.
Still I hope to redo what I've done someday,
All those nights I hung around in those bars.
Often driving drunk and dangerous in my car.

Leaving her at home she worried if I was okay.
Her being safe never bothered me in any way.
The times I refused to do what she wanted too,
Then made plans for something different to do.

All those nights I was gone leaving her alone.
I should have been comforting and loving her.
Only her strong love and great understanding,
Kept the fire burning in a love so demanding.

I lived in a dream world after we were married.
In the first 10 years we had a weak marriage,
I took no responsibility I lacked the courage,

I started thinking of this world without me
How much better off my sweet wife would be
Finally we separated she went to her sisters
I went to my Mom and Dad's to stay awhile.

in those 3 weeks apart she wanted a divorce.
Maybe the best thing for her to do at that time,
Her action shocked my mind back into reality.
The thought of loosing her changed my priorities

I was certainly shocked out of my dream world.
Since then I have given her all my devoted love.

Next year will be our 45th wedding anniversary.
