Mid life crisis or mid life dreams
Take your choice
Don’t mistake my actions
I’m not just searching for sexual satisfaction
Listen closely to my tone – my voice
You don’t hear any reconciliation
That’s right cause I don’t care
About you
I’m been a mother, wife and sounding board
I been a maid, cook and errand boy
Disappeared into an abyss
Don’t dare dismiss me
Take a closer look at my eyes
Eyes that speak shear boredom
Once I was a fantastic lover
Nice body, maybe not a ten
But a face that was pretty
Didn’t need makeup to cover up
There was a definite sparkle
Men saw it but not you
Never you
Once filled with life
That flowed from my soul
Always fought for mine
I was cools as a crisp day
Could have waltz away
But listened to sentences
I did what I had – I stayed
Mid life crisis or mid life dreams
Take your choice
Don’t mistake my actions
I’m not just searching for sexual satisfaction
Listen closely to my tone – my voice
And remember why
When you find yourself
Alone

So many lies; soon truth became fiction and made me the villain
Sad Goodbye
Its a sad goodbye that I never got to say
A sad goodbye I had to say after you went away
I knew you were still
by Kyra Terrill
[Threatening Fear]
You'll find her in the corner
With her head held in her hands
Her eyes are red and puffy
Body shaking;
