I plucked up the courage to say enough was enough...
Uncomfortably Numb
I'm feeling uncomfortably numb
I want to curl up and suck my thumb.
I did what needed to be done
Who knows what will come.
He asked me if I still loved him
The answer was dark and grim
The world we knew shattered apart
As I visibly broke his heart.
Now he is shut in our room
Drowning in misery and gloom.
Refusing to come out to even talk
Knowing I'll ask him to go and walk.
Of course it's all my fault.
I've rubbed his wounds in salt.
And he is perfect in every way.
But now I refuse to play.
And my sanity gets to stay.
Two days later...
One More Try (AGAIN)
I tried to be strong and stick to my mind
But my heart is too damned kind.
The kids begged me to let him stay.
So its time to make the most of this day.
He knows how close he was to going
How much my hatred was growing.
But in my heart I might have wondered
If one more try would cure the drunkard.
Lots of promises have been made.
The pros and cons have been weighed.
Our hearts have beat like percussions
We've had days of discussions.
Everything is out to air.
This time I really dare
To hope in April it won't lead to a bye
This time it will only take one more try.
