I see a love <br />That once was strong <br />But something has gone <br />Terribly wrong <br /> <br />The kisses are not <br />Like they were before <br />You don't come back <br />You don't ask for more <br /> <br />We use to lay together <br />All night long <br />When we were together <br />Our love was always strong <br /> <br />The loving was more <br />It happened at will <br />But it seems I no longer <br />Give you that same thrill <br /> <br />I would start your day <br />I would end your night <br />Now for the most part <br />You are out of sight <br /> <br />You use to make an effort <br />To always love me <br />But that was back in the days <br />When we were happy as could be <br /> <br />I never thought love <br />Would slowly die <br />I've hurt for so long <br />I have no tears left to cry <br /> <br />I hope there's a chance <br />To restart the flame <br />But I know there's some doubt <br />Because you no longer feel the same <br /> <br />I'm not looking to put <br />Blame on anyone <br />I just need to know <br />Am I still the one <br /> <br />You say that you love me <br />This I do not doubt <br />But have you forgotten <br />What love is all about? <br /> <br />Sometimes when I'm with you <br />I feel so all alone <br />I feel like a stranger <br />In my own home <br /> <br />I only want what use to be <br />Once again for you and me <br />Things will just get worse <br />If we just let them be <br /> <br />I'm asking you <br />As your wife <br />Can't we please <br />Have back our life? <br /> <br /> <br />12-16-08/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wife-asks-can-we-have-what-use-to-be/
