I miss the love of years ago .
Her admiration doesn't show .
The knight in armor that I was .
The man she promised God she'd love.
Arm in arm we traded rings.
We shared our love , Our life and things.
The years have gone from one to many .
Her love for me she hasn't any .
Living together, But grown apart.
Just a shell without a heart .
No kisses , Hugs or smooth caresses.
No holding hands, No pretty dresses.
What have I done to fall from grace ?
What am I doing in this empty place ?

"Living together, But grown apart.
Just a shell without a heart...
What am I doing in this empty place?"
I grappled with this sentiment far too long before finally ending my own marriage.
Thank you for sharing something so personal, it's beautifully sad. But as you said, life got better.
Been there, done that. And life does get better ep. Very well written. 👍
Thank you so much for the great comment. Yes life did get better. 41 years in December. Thanks again. You have a good night.
