The day dawns cold but bright
Chug chug, off to work
Never enough time, can’t even see my desk
Always worried my time is coming
He leaves today
Another round-the-world trip
Another two weeks at home with the boys
Our boys, our silly goofy boys
And that little, nagging, jagged hole
She left.
It looks much smaller than it is
But I keep telling my self it’s hardly there
That little place
Where she ripped herself out of my life,
Out of my family.
That little place that’s empty now
We all pretend not to see it
But it’s always there
And it’s not always a bad thing
But it’s always there.
I tell her goodnight every night
Even though I know she isn’t listening.
At least she knows I think of her
And I still see
That little, nagging, jagged hole.
Leaning against the back porch
Cool breeze on my cheek from the new fallen snow
Two silly dogs crunching at the ice on the deck
Enjoying the early evening calm
Once again asking the constant question,
Did I make the right decision?
I see my furniture back in it’s old places
I wake to the sounds and smells of family
This is my home, my family, my husband.
I am home.
Definitely, yes.
