Time and Circumstances

Under the weight
of time
and circumstances
life has
for far too long
continued to be
what it has been
for the two of us
things we can't change
things we don't know how to change
and things
we wish each other would change

There are so many reasons
for our complications
from being too young
for marriage
to having children
before we were ready
not enough job prospects
to earn a decent living
arguing
fighting
and missing the each other we used to be

For me
when I am alone
I hate to admit it
but I wonder
if possibly
everyone was right
maybe we rushed this
maybe our family was ruined
because of our love was merely infatuation
the doubts of whether
this is love
whether we were meant to be together
linger within my heart

Then there is the fear
I want to be the husband
your happiness thought I would be
the father our children
need me to be
I feel lost
on a path that once had direction
because nothing seems to go as planned
we struggle
day in
and day out
this isn't how it was supposed to be
yet it is
which makes me wonder
I am not enough
