I am more deeply in love at this point
Than ever before in my life
Ittruly is ripping my heart out
For I used to be his wife
This worst of it is that I’m surrounded
By those who love me the most
And he is somewhere else hating me
I think he’s on the East Coast
Wherever he is, in my heart I am with him
I’m here alone in this crowd
That’s the worst alone can be
I feel covered as in a shroud
I know I did it to myself and all
He was as perfection to me
Even in leaving alone I knew this
But now I know it will never be
I’m in love alone, totally alone
No matter who is here and loving
My heart is alone and so am I
No matter who is here and loving.

Wow, this is so sad...I know what you meen that if even if you are surrounded by ppl who loves you, its not the same cause every person you love its different, loving your son is diffrent than loving your husband, its just another kind of love, its not compared... just other

This seemed so real you brought the piece to life like one being in love with one and staying with the other and that being the one they really want. But perhaps because of how things turned out having settled with what is. Still that longing to be elsewhere because of the being in love is still in the heart yet to settle cause of the choice made. The responsiblitly of it a reality and still the longing and unhappiness of what isn't because of that. Best wishes in the contest you surely haven't lost your muse.
