With every bone in my body

I sleep in darkness

I wake in darkness

Never seeing the sun

I taste the sweet

But only acknowledge the bitter

When she touches me with her warm hands

I only feel the ice

Her smile stirs no passion within me

Her words move me to no other place

The clock that ticks gets louder

Every time she enters the room

The atmosphere once light

Heavies and falls in mid air

I sit I stare

I wonder when the silence will end

In my mind I beg

Someone please take me out of here

I once loved her I remember

Now all I feel is hate

I curse every breath she takes

But I cannot leave

For she has given me my reason to be

Upstairs in his bed sleeps our son

He needs his father he needs me
