~Long Marriage~

I reach through the darkness,
expecting to find someone waiting there.
and grasp the hand of lonliness,
when I find it empty, void and bare.

Swallowed by my desolation,
conquered by a lack of self worth.
Constantly wondering who I am,
and the purpose of my birth.

I look at my tight cacoon,
purposely devised to keep people away.
and dare to wonder why no one knows me,
or cares to hear what I have to say.

I have spent so many years in a marriage
that has killed my soul deep within.
That I would have to say that staying,
has been my biggest sin.

What if so much of me has been destroyed,
and this is all I have left to give.
Can I ever be happy or love,
or really have a chance to live?
