I Didn't Die

Is it frustrating for you that I didn’t die?

The perfect role for you denied.

The loyal husband who would see me through.

The last embrace.

The last goodbye.

Is it frustrating for you that I didn’t die?

Forty years by my side.

But I’m alive.

And you walked away.

You said goodbye.

But I stayed.

I am alive.

And there is no us.

I am alone.

Not where I thought I’d be

By your side

But now, there is no room for me.

I’m seeking shelter

For myself and my soul

I need to feel that I am whole

There is no us.

Still there is me.

I can be whole.

I will be free.

Are you frustrated I didn’t die?

I’m not.

I’m alive.

I’m alive!
