A Muted World

There was a defined moment When I left my muted world From marriage in name only And a place for the lonely which Existed in two people drifting apart Like shadows on the wall with No more than a moment to stay! Decisions I made in a hasty array Of emotions that could never Exist in the name of true love And there's suddenly a stranger In your life-in the silence you know! My heart and soul spoke words Of sad effect for there was no bond No place of connection when I listened as my own voice echoed A clear realization that to survive I had no choice but to leave!
