I Wish

Simple-Man87

I wish I could say I was blindsided

That I didn't know you were planning to leave

But you took far more than you needed

Far more than I can conceive.

I wish I could say I didn't know why you left

That I didn't know you were hiding the real reason

All you needed was one slip up

I gave you marital treason.

I wish I could say "I'm fine, go on with your life,"

That I can function pain free, without a care

But then what reason could I give for the internal bleeding

Or falling to my knees and pulling out my hair?

I wish I could say "you took everything from me,"

That my life is mine, not mine too...

This is where you cover our babies eyes

For you don't get to take my life, I'll take it for you.

      Thank you, both. Thank you for reading..

    • myself and me

      You forget this wish.
      "I wish you never in my life
      No suffer shall I pay"

      Feel the burning and ache. A experience as painful as pain can be. Nice piece.

        If I wished her never in my life, I wouldn't have experienced fatherhood, though temporary, I May see them soon.

        • myself and me

          Sorry, wrong wish, forget about it. Exchange with this one.
          "I wish you never away
          so happy shall stay"
