Indecisive Alice

Indecisive Alice

My wife whom never decides, just another minute she would say as the waiter walks away, burger or chicken, popcorn or nachos, difficult choices everyday. Another hour to wait before I eat, my bum is going numb in this restaurant seat. I watch her anxiety peak, her eyes in REM as if to decide, live or die.

Everyday the tasks she faces, palpations creating headaches within her many faces, masks of happiness, sadness and depression all congealed into one shield, she holds it close to her heart, living blind within the foggy lanes of her escape. Her world she creates to exist, to be a mate, a friend, a wife, a mother.

A troubled past that hopefully won't last,

​​​Alice

​​​​​​The painting hanging upon your shrouded door peels away revealing the day it happened, no matter how many happy memories you paint, time will fade them to reveal his face.

Only love can eradicate this event, only forgiveness can truly take it away and remember Alice, I love you so much each and everyday.Β Β
