Am I still there somewhere in your heart because I don't think you see me anymore...... You don't notice when I come home and I've been crying and my eyes are all puffy and red .....you just don't seem to care anymore .......it's almost like I'm dead.
You don't notice that I don't give you a goodbye kiss as I walk out the door.....You don't notice that I stay up really late so I don't have to sleep with you anymore.
You don't notice that I'm not that happy person I used to be .....feeling sad every day about our marriage slowly fading away ...it's just a daily part of me.
What if tomorrow I was Gone ? Would you remember that you didn't notice me then?
You don't notice that I long for you to hold me in your arms and reassure me that you still love me..... You don't notice that our marriage isn't what it used to be.
You don't notice that I don't take pleasure in the little things in life anymore ....every day you not being there is slowly eating at my core.
You don't notice that I miss you... it seems you'd rather I let you be ... You don't notice how it hurts me that you'd rather spend time doing other things rather than spending time with me.
What if tomorrow I was gone? Would you remember that you didn't notice me then?
You don't notice that I know that she's still on your mind and in your heart....You don't notice that all these things have slowly torn us apart.
You don't notice that I still love you after all the things you've done.... You don't notice how hard I wish that we could still be one.
What if tomorrow I was gone..... Would you remember that you didn't notice me then?
You don't notice that I no longer want you here......you don't notice that the very thought of that sad reality brings me to tears.
You don't notice that I avoid you at all costs..... You don't notice that without you and the way things used to be I'm feeling very lost.
Tomorrow is here ....and now I'm gone....do you notice now how it feels to be all alone?

Very powerful. Thank you for sharing.
WELCOME TM ~ Thanks for sharing a beautiful and yet poignant poem straight from yiour wounded heart. 20 years is a lifetime and for it to end so cruelly and suddenly is more than a loving heart can bear. You bore the pain for so long ~ did he notice ~ i don't think so ? The final line denotes the sad sad end of something that once was so so perfect. Tomorrow is here ...... and now I'm gone ...... do you notice NOW how it feels to be all ALONE ? Thanks for sharing ~ I trust you found it cathartic. I'm not married (yet) but when i read your poem it made me ashamed to be a Man. Thinking of you ~ praying for you ~ BRIAN
Thank you for the prayers.
