Thoughts running through my head

Cause me to dread

The coming days ahead

trying to figure out why I am still here--

in this relationship--after 20 long hard years--

we have both cheated,

We have both been downright evil to each other.

Thoughts running through my head.

Thoughts running through my head

Cause me to dread

The coming days ahead

Why are we still here?

Love? Needs? Fear?

Thoughts running through my head.

Thoughts running through my head

Cause me to dread

The coming days ahead

why am I still here--in this world--

Where do I belong? Am I needed?

Thoughts running through my head.

Thoughts running through my head

Cause me to dread

The coming days ahead

Is it the same over there?

Does he feel it too?

Are we through?

Thoughts running through my head.

Thoughts running through my head

Cause me to dread

The coming days ahead

Will it ever end?

This need to feel

heartbreak
