Fifty-Six - The Wedding Present

So where do I begin?

What about your skin on my skin

Your disapproving stare

The smell of your hair

The warmth of your caress

The breeze ruffling your dress

From the other side of the USA

It’s like I never went away

And yes, I’ve gotten what I

Thought I sought after, but I

Really got it wrong this time

I’m trying hard at being strong, but I’m

Feeling more depleted every day

I’m unconditionally defeated

Your picture in my phone

Reminds me I’m alone

I should delete it, but

That sounds kind of desperate

No, I can handle this

I just gotta try not to reminisce

Because I’m glad I did what I did

Oh, who am I trying to kid?

And yes, I’ve gotten what I

Thought I sought after, but I

Really got it wrong this time

I’m trying hard at being strong, but I’m

Feeling more depleted every day

I’m unconditionally defeated
