Changes

What had happened?

When did this begin?

The passion abated

No longer within

She longed for His embrace

To be slammed against the wall

To kissed until she was breathless

Maybe she wasn’t

Sexy enough

Maybe He didn’t

Love her anymore

As the years

Had slipped by

She had changed

No longer the slight

Young woman she had been

Now there were curves

And not all of them were in the right places

Her confidence was at an all time low

And His lack of passion just

Made her feel worse

She had explained

Had told Him

How she felt

But nothing had changed

The loneliness

She felt

Just increased

Day by day

Each day

The tears came

But only when she

Was alone

She hoped

And prayed

Things would

Improve because

She knew

She would die

If things stayed

This way

So she stood before the mirror

Taking stock of what she saw

Vowing to change

Vowing to win back His love

And her respect for herself

Today would be the beginning of a whole new her

She would win

Because she sure as hell refused to fail.
