He Sleeps
He Sleeps Sitting on the patio deep in thought I had never seen you like that before You are always my tower of strength Tonight you crumpled You came apart at the seams I sat there numb and silent I let you down, the one time you needed me I let you down As if I have the world on my shoulders I very slowly walk into our bedroom I sit on our bed and look at you, I see the boy you were, the carefree boy The Young man so serious and dedicated You were going to make the world a better place By you being here you accomplished hat the World is a better place having you i it. The man who went down on bended knee asking shyly, and very nervously to be his wife The look on your face as you held our new born In your arms Again when you held our twin daughters Your job taking you away from us The calls from all over our homeland As you rose hg her in the Company The late night or early morning calls from those exotic places your company had you travel to. Each time you came home there were new worry lines but I did not want to know I just wanted to enjoy the benefits Did not want to see how little by little you withdrew and kept your to yourself You had always ben the breadwinner, proud of your ability to provide for us Always putting that little away for our later years... I knew something was wrong the moment I saw you walk in the door but again I did not want to know it might disrupt my carefully manicured life Sitting here the tears falling down my face silently Oh my friend, my confident, my lover My beloved husband, how could I be so cruel When did I change, when did I turn into this grasping vain cold woman I need to tell you, it is all right Everything Will be fine, we will be okay They have been asking me for months to work extra hours.... so I will say yes I will help you update your Resume Your spotless reputation as a Honorable man Your steering of the departments under your control to happy united profit making units is well known It Will not be long before you are snapped up... How shortsighted that company is to let yo go, Your knowledge of different cultures and your ease with languages The respect you are held in with the overseas firms yo deal with... Why could I not say that to our face A lock of errant hair falls across our face Very gently and tenderly I remove it, brushing it into our hair Sitting here, I fall in love with you all over again Have I left it too late Have I driven you away? My hands nervously twisting the bed covers in my anxiety Your eyes open I stumble over my words trying to get them out I make such a hash of it.... I look into your eyes expecting to see disgust coldness, distain, but no your eyes are shining with love Shhhh it's all right love..... Do you know how much I love you ? dam woman you have not changed You are still the beautiful woman I saw sketching by the lake, the vision I fell for instantly I take your hand, and squeeze it We will be all right We will weather this road bump and be the stronger for it I lay down on the bed, enfolded in your arms. sighing with contentment, knowing I am safe, loved, and once more alive Like a young girl a young girl in love with her beau - My lover of thirty years, my beloved husband. |
