Dead End of a Marriage

You know both of us never wanted this,
our lives now are anything but bliss.

I can't wake up in the morning feeling joy,
instead I feel like I'm a broken toy,

Never to be repaired and set in a box,
and not knowing how to undo the locks.

Locks that you've set up in your heart,
and yet I wonder if they were there from the start.

Pleaded my case, mind and heart to you my dear wife,
feeling that I have no choices in my life.

If you want everything to end then just say it,
and I will end my devotion although hard to admit.

I still imagine waking up to you by my side,
you know you can't sit back and say I didn't try.

We're both at the dead end of a marriage.

I've tried everything I know to try and win back your trust and love,
seems like the future of our lives is determined by the almighty up above.
