A Void

My life is everything that I feel, some parts doesn't even seem real. Days go by 
were I am starting to feel old. Therefore, parts of my life effects my soul. It feels 
like I have a big void in my life, no matter what I say or do it just doesn't seem 
right.  At times I am by myself  with nothing to do. People tell me it just takes one 
and not  two.
 My blessing has come and gone, now I feel like I can not hang on. Tell me what 
is that void missing out of my life. It feels like it's not having a complete family or 
being a wife. I pray and ask God to give me strength, because I can't take 
anymore. I didn't think part of my life required me having to pick you up off the 
floor.
 Lonely, scared, sad and many more feelings in between. However, this is one 
picture I did not want to be seen. Tell me why do I have this hole in my heart. I 
hope it will leave and not take a part of my soul. My soul was giving to me by God 
and I want to give it back. It's hard at times, because it's something in my life that 
I lack.
  All my feelings life and soul was giving to you. In your hand you are giving it 
back, because you don't  know what to do. I remember your exact words. "GET 
OUT AND TAKE YOUR THINGS". I guess you forgot, I worked hard and all those 
things I did bring. I know you told me you were trying to make it day by day, but I 
know without me you will forget your way.
 I know you were not perfect and neither am I,  but all you did was tear out my 
heart and made me cry. I love you with all my heart and always will, but my soul I 
will not let you keep or steal. I am finally saying good-bye and walking out  the 
door and this part of my life will not cause a void anymore.
