He doesn't notice that I am here.
For days he has not hugged me
Kissed me hello
Or wished me sweet dreams when the sun rests his eyes
He is life walking lifeless
Full of dreams that went downhill
Plunged into his valley
And now he sits in a dream-like state
of misery
And I am his company
I embrace him when he is reminded that he is alone
Smile when he cannot find laughter
And pray over him when he cannot find the strength
and I am his strength but he does not know it
He has taken advantage of the meals in his stomach
the cleanliness next to godliness in our home
with the gift of God in our son
In a separate world he dwells
hidden from me and the spirits around him
He does not hug
Nor does he kiss
Within his world he dwells
As ignorance lies to bliss.
