My Road To Perdition

It seems that I...have found myself,

So lost...so sad...so afraid,

Too scared to try and start again,

Lest I repeat the mistakes I've made.



I dread the thought of waking up,

With no direction or hope inside,

I've not the courage...nor the strength,

And nobody in which to confide.



If only I...could have been,

A better husband and Dad,

Now I merely take up space,

Lamenting the life I had.



I blame no one...I wish I could,

I felt no impending doom,

But...simply lost my family to,

A screen name in a chat room.



I can only guess...she wanted to hear,

Dreams of a better life,

May I take this time...to apologize,

To my wonderful son and wife.
