My heart is his...

I call, I text, I send him gifts

But all I got from him was a sarcastic "I wish"

Doesn't he know my heart is his?

Where has he gone? Will he come back?

The love of my life has fallen off track.

What happened to our dreams? Were they all a lie?

Has he changed for the better? Or does he continue to fly?

I write him letters

I hear him curse under his breath "leave me alone"

tears in my eyes, my heart crushed

I still need him to make me laugh

to lift my spirits when I am sad

I miss his smile, his promise of undying love

I still need his help from time to time

I depended on him to make my life shine

I miss his silly dances, and our adventures awry

I gave him my heart, I promised him so

In marriage together we vowed

So how do I heal my broken soul?

I trusted, I gave, til it hurt I cared

I long to be with him, a part of his life

and he in mine, one life together,

we had planned to share.

I pray for him, his heart to be true

and to understand and realize

my love for him was deeper than even I knew

We can mend our marriage

through forgiveness and patience for

the sake of our union, growing stronger,

rebuilding the trust, a love everlasting

I know I will live, but whole I am not

for my heart is missing, it is with the one that I love

I dream of being safe in his arms, my head resting on his chest

I pray he comes back, for my heart is his, his heart I miss.
