The Divorce rate continues to soar

by Anastasia Shows

another hole in the wall
i'm still here lying on the couch
lying still, hidden in the blanket pouch
I'm shaking hidden and small
I can see you slipping, I know you're to fall.
Shattering the silence with your hands, you slouch
down against the broken mirror, not a sob or "ouch".

I can see the pain in your eyes/
she doesn't love you anymore.
you know her little lies
and the blind anger multiplies
She can't hear you when he's at the door.
home sweet home to broken home, oh time flies.

"i can see the pain in your eyes she doesn't love you anymore."--I really like that.

Nice one - so sad and lyrical, suitable for a slow guitar.
