Preface: I was thinking of writing about a different topic today but I can’t get this out of my mind. Last night took me completely off guard.

---

I mistakenly thought that things were going great
Between us and hoped it wasn’t too late
For you to come to and see me beside you
What I wasn’t expecting was you looking at her too

Bundled up in bed, sharing a laugh or kiss or two
Me reading on my phone, you answering emails, what’s new?
It was a habit, a thing, we both were used to
But when I turned my head, it was her face on screen for you

A drop in my stomach, a frog in my throat
I thought I could handle it, the rocking of the boat
Turning my back to gain my composure
Fiercely I blinked to dispel the gathering moisture

It’s a whole new year and yet there is no new development
I am starting to think that maybe this is just not meant
I have given you my heart, I have given you my all
But all you have given me is a wakeup call.

I hope this is fiction 😰
Really well written, but sad. Keep your chin up

I wish it was. Kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. I'm coping, though! Thank you. ^_^

Very impressive, but hopefully not true :'(

Unfortunately, it is. But thank you for appreciating it! ^_^
