Coping Not Hoping

As I reflect on my lost past

My thoughts and memories stored away 

I lost my wife a year ago

I let my favorite chair go today


Not so much losing my wife

She lost me and very quickly

Wasted no time on the proceedings

I'm glad she did she saved her soul


I don't think about wanting it all back

I can't comprehend being in this position

The emptiness I feel for being a hurtful husband 

At times makes me angry and toxic 


I take a drive to nowhere

To put my mind in a better place

The waves crash hard on the rocky shore

The surfers paradise is just that


I can't run or hide from my emotions

The blame game serves me no purpose

The end result took care of itself

Now I must take care of ME


As they took away my chair today

Something better to replace its' space

The gifts and the goodness that brought her to me

These incredible memories stay inside 


She can't forgive, I won't forget

Everything that was whole in my life

Not that it matters to her anymore

But I'm thankful that she was my wife
