There is never any clear indication
of when conditions in your life will soon change.
The things you were accustomed to
now different and at first you feel a little strange.

A relationship which had blossomed
without warning one day comes to a dismal end.
The one person whom you had trusted
can no longer be counted upon to be your friend.

You search in your mind for answers
exactly what it was you might have done wrong.
Thoughts if you can just figure it out
any confusion will disappear and make you strong.

The kiss you were use to receiving
on seeing each other again after a long day apart.
Greeted instead by a cold hard stare
bringing uneasy questions to your troubled heart.

You came home on a sunny day
expecting a warm and friendly greeting of hello.
Instead what you quickly discover
is there isn’t anyone here whom you really know.

Looking back on your days together
as familiar personal habits would soon disappear.
Wondering if you did notice before
but only recently it had become abundantly clear.

Was there a way to ease the doubts
and erase the terror you could feel buried within.
Could you somehow turn back the clock
and have a loving relationship return once again.

Questions linger when you are alone
of all the rapid changes which have taken place.
Where exactly did you loose control
it’s as if your whole life has been totally erased.

Your shoulders are slumped and bent
no smile can be seen on your heartbroken face.
Your walk no longer has any bounce
suddenly you are alone with no love to embrace.

But there is always another tomorrow
where good things are all still waiting for you.
Don’t give up or give in ... not today
the next change you face will see you through.
