my biggest fear

The silence we share
the heart aching despair
the bed meant for two
is now missing you

we play and pretend
for the sake of our kids
but it's getting harder to hide
I'm afraid this is the end

the more I try to reach out
the farther you run
you escape to work
and I in bourbon

you can see the stripe
where your ring once was
when did it change
you knew all my flaws

I know you can't forget
the love that we shared
I recreate the moments
to show that I care

the next time you see me
please don't run
listen to my words
because you are my world

when we finally sit down
our words filled with tears
this can't be the end
that is my biggest fear
