Simply Who I Can Be

I .... am still me ....  
Even though you can't see,      
through my own pain and grief.    
I .... still care to be ....    
the exact same man you married before becoming a United States Marine,    
so many years a go, but listen up lady.    
I .... am truly ....      
deeply sorry, for there's no ifs or maybes, it's not something that I can change back yet sadly baby.    
I wish .... I knew how ....    
It's just something that has to be for now.
So I'm .... begging you please ....    
Don't yet walk out on me,      
cause I walked out on me already.    
And if not you .... then who ....    
will see this thing on through?    
Love me .... for me Boo ....    
Isn't that the number one thing that a wife suppose to do?    
Like I said before, I'm .... still me ....    
just slightly alive inside, but still just insanely, deeply, if not more madly in love with you crazy.    
I .... can not be ....      
Batman without Robin.    
Whose Bonnie without Clyde, tell me lady?
But .... I guess ....    
I'll still have to carry on, is what you suggested.    
..... Damn.
