The Moment The Storm Passed

I've seen it all
The best and the worst
The terrible secrets
Lied to and cursed
I swore long ago
I would never give up
No matter the problem
Keep your head high and strut
The pain only thickens
Each day that goes by
I secretly say
Keep your eyes on the prize
What is that 
This prize you speak of
A long life together
Like that of a ? dove
Once they have found
Their true soul mate
Nothing will break them
They will never separate
Two become one
Your friend for life
No more drama
No more strife
Is that real
Does that really exist
Only in nature 
My what a twist 
You says to me daily 
Do you ever smile
So I reflect on that
And I think for a while
I get up each day
With that smile on my face
Til the moment you see me
Roll your eyes and look away
Suddenly my smile 
Starts to slowly turn down
Before I say good morning 
I already have a frown
Is that because 
You wouldn't let me speak
Or when you heard me
You turned the other cheek
The things I look forward
To sharing with you 
Are never important 
No matter what I do
I listen closely 
To every word you say 
I'll repeat verbatim 
What you said yesterday
But what did I say
Just ten minutes ago
Always remember 
You reap what you sew
There is no love 
In this house we call home 
You don't even realize
You're in another zone
What is our address 
Where do we stay
Don't answer that
Too much talking for today
You've made it clear 
That I'm not the one for you
No matter what I say
No matter what I do 
I've tried to talk
I've cried and I've yelled
But you never hear me
They said time will tell
Well time has told
That it's not on our side
There's nothing left
I've already tried 
I've picked up pieces
Of a bitter broken heart
I've done all I can 
To try an restart
You haven't understood 
Up to this point 
So why would that change
You've done left this joint
A bed is all I have
To truly offer you
The image your portraying 
Is all you care to prove
You're here aren't you 
That's what you usually ask
Like that makes things okay
Because we're all wearing masks 
There's nothing real 
About this so called marriage
The facade the appearance 
The falsely claimed image
Who are you fooling
What is your plan
Do you think we are good
Do you feel like a man
Why keep me around
If you're that bothered by me
What makes you feel 
Like you can't just leave B
I know this ain't love
That's been gone a long time
Wishful thinking 
It was all in my mind
We were doomed from the start 
No joy in sight
Been nothing but hell
And a long winded fight
I gave you my all
Trusted you with my kids
It was all a mistake
Look what we did
I was hurt so badly
I walked astray
You were smaked in the face
On a hot summer day
Now we have grown
But only in count
Why did I think 
I truly had no doubt 
That this would somehow work 
You're nothing like me 
Somewhere inside
You're still very salty
And that is OK 
You should feel what I felt
Sometimes we deal 
With the hand that we ourselves dealt
If you don't get that
I don't know what to say
Take it like I took it
Then walk the other way. 
I will always love you
I promise I will and do still
But you'll never ever know 
How I really truly feel
As for the next woman
You'll one day reflect
Remember to love her
And give her the utmost respect
