You mines -
you will always be.
Our small quarrels ,
hurt more than you know.
You shut me out.
You pull away.
I feel alone ,
I want you to stay.
Further & further,
you drift away.
I reach out -
to touch you , to hold you.
I'm trying.
What more can I do?
You here -
so close ,
yet so far.
Loneliness, eat at me -
hiding the pain.
You love me ,
I know.
I need to be patient ,
and for you -
I need to be strong.
For better or for worse -
that's what we said.
I am a wife.
Through thick and thin ,
I stay.
I am a woman.
Pain and suffering -
I am built to take it.
You , my husband -
the love of my life.
So much for you to do ,
so much on your shoulders.
A distance between us ,
but in need of my love and support.
I'm here -
just reach out.
