Two people separating

I am plagued with mixed emotions.
annoyed by guilt, failure and fear.
Anxious for a new way of life
First thing I'm going to do is buy me a German Shepherd.
James never did like any of my dogs.
For that matter, he doesn't care for much. Unless, it has something to do with cars of football!
I feel I may have forgotten how to think.
My mind has been imprisoned for so long.
My only mode of travel, for it seems like ages, has been television, paperback novels, and women's magazines. My education has come from day time T.V. game shows

It wasn't always like this,
At first the whole world was bright.
Spring lasted all year long. I believed in trolls and leprechauns.
My eyes, unlike now, cried tears of joy.
My heart beat to the music of his voice.
The sunshine opened the flowers as I watched.

The radio played a hundred beautiful new tunes.
Every tune seemed to tell our story. Such a glorious story.
I'm not sure if it's day or night, or if I'm wrong or right.
Ts the world still turning?
Am I empty on the inside?

I am thankful for the minutes.. the love.. the beauty we shared.
My lips formed a smile of total contentment, and now, form a mask of gloom of total resentment.
It's over!
