Beyond despair
By meadowlea
I used to wonder how she says, that in bed all day you lay
But she says, I understand now, today
She says I didn’t understand before the deep feelings of despair
I never understood that feeling of I really don’t care
But I say, what about back then, when you lay in bed
Not the same she says, finding out my marriage was dead
Now I lay in my bed can’t be bothered going to work I really don’t
care
I understand how you laid there in bed even if the cupboard was bare
She says I understand now, now that I don’t care

I really like this poem. Despite it being about a dead marriage, I can still relate. I think just about everyone can but I really... enjoyed it? I enjoyed the poem but not the pain in it. I guess I appreciate it more than enjoy it. Keep up the writing!
