It was always only us in life
Us and our lovely girls
Although we had our share of strife
The flag of love unfurled

The simple joy of coming home
Sustained me through the day
But now the house is empty
And silence is the way

My heart has snapped and broken
My soul is just not there
The girls have fled this empty house
And you`re an empty chair

You`re now so very far away
From our warm and cosy bed
And visions of his arms round you
Fill my sleeping head

I said I loved you every day
I thought I knew what you were thinking
But you packed a bag, walked out the door
And now my boat is sinking

Our lives must now go separate ways
And I`ll always wish you well
In your brand new life away from us
While we must stay in hell

I cleaned the dresser out one day
Threw out some of our old things
It`s when I knew you`d not be back
`Cause I found your wedding rings

Removed and hidden, placed away
I never noticed they had gone
From your finger on that fateful day
When you sang that sad, sad song

Make him treat you well, my dear
`Cause you deserve the best
The girls have grown up, gone away
And I just want to rest.

I have no fighting spirit left
I`m crying all day long
And no one ever calls me now
What did I do so wrong?

This last weekend I spent with you
Was beautiful, my dear
But it emphasised the pain I feel
And the emptiness I fear

I had to spend years nursing you
And I turned my friends away
And now I`ve no one I can tell
`Bout how I feel today

I`m locking our front door, my love
I`m not making any fuss
So now I`ll slip away, my love
Because there is no us.

Your thoughts and emotions in this writing have gripped so tightly, leaving such despair. Such deep sadness, I would that no one would have to feel this kind of loss.

Welcome.

Have felt this loss, very good write out about it.

Time does heal wounds and love has a way of finding us again...
