You go to work
while I stare out the window,
you keep yourself busy
while I watch the grass grow.
You earn us money
while I think how to spend it,
you have a place in the world
while I feel like a misfit.
You never lose patience
while I never see the bright side,
a darkness has enveloped me
I can no longer hide.
Your kind words are said
with the intent to keep me strong
as I try to quell the fears
which have come along.
You don’t realise
you have saved my life
all those years ago
when you agreed to be my wife.

Beautifully evoked
