At Night...



During the day, the faces go on, the smiles arrive, and the politeness resumes. The role of best friend comes back.

At night, I lie there, night after night, wondering where marriage went, and how I ended up lying next to someone that I can't really touch. I wonder why she won't touch me.

At night, communication stops. The lights go out, and no need for smiles. Roll over and go to sleep.

(repeated every night for 7 months)

  1. This is so painful. My heart aches for you. I don't know what to say or do.

  2. This post hits close to home. My life was the same for about a year. When I look back the only thing that helped it was time. Sucks, sorry bud.
