I knew I was dying on the inside.
My mind would drift into a trance,
and I became aware
that I was slowly disconnecting from reality.
As the pain increased,
I moved further
into a state of self-destruction.
Rational thought faded,
and a careless, unconcerned attitude
took its place.
My deepest fear
is losing you.
I love you so much.
I know that telling you this
has become meaningless,
yet it tears my heart apart
to believe you may never
love me this way again.
I am truly sorry
that you have grown apart from me.

You once said
my face seemed worn and tired —
perhaps that is because
I am slowly fading on the outside
as well.
Two beautiful people —
how did it ever come to this?
Can God help us
mend what is broken?
I feel so empty,
as though we are only
waiting out time.
Our son is precious,
a beautiful reflection
of both of us.
But you are special too —
the best woman
who has ever entered my life.
It would be an honor
to regain your love
and grow old by your side.

You said you feel lost
and need to find yourself.
I struggle to understand
how that happened
after all the care and love
I have poured into us
over the years.
Please —
please bring happiness
back into our lives.
Allow us
to make our house
a home once more.
