TEARS BEFORE BEDTIME (marital bliss)

they’ve had 10 years together
but its worse now not better
they can’t pretend that nothing has changed.
trapped inside her own prison
but she built it with him
wishing she hadn't lost the key
sweeps it under the carpet
ignoring her heartbeat
wishing for something, someone to blame
There’ll be tears before bedtime
as he buries the landmine
the bomb of his love and his fear
she knows she once loved him
but now she can't trust him
to have and to hold? or to just disappear?
