She has a garden tub that she never bathes in
And a heart that has grown cancerous through the years
Never admitting the reasons why she gave up on love
She just settles daily for the life that she's been given
Don't get me wrong she is surrounded by love
But love she has not chosen
And cannot feel
For she grew numb to it years ago
When the man she gave her life to
Walked silently out the door
Leaving her behind with a child
So he could find himself
While she lost herself
She has watched this child grow
Everyday
His face reminding her
Of the husband who disappeared
And she settled for another lover
One that does not make her heart flutter
Or her knees weak
One that helps pay the bills
And agrees always
Quite boringly
There are no sparks
No flames
Just a constant longing
For something more........
