Analysis of LIFE MATTERED

Debbie Middaugh AKA TURBO1904 1963 (San Diego, CA.)



 Every day a,
Constant struggle.
  A few missing
pieces to the puzzle.

A whole lot of shit,
Topped with fear.
  I fell apart when she
left me here.

Face to face,
I was staring.
  At a heart no
longer caring.

Every day it gets
A little worse.
  I wish I could of
forgotten her first.

I need to get rid of
This strife.
  She changed the way
I live my life.

The day arrives,
You look back.
  Trying to make-up
For all, you lack.

Hatred in her
Stare at me.
  Speechless, found it
Hard to breathe.

The blow she
Delivered.
  In fetal position,
I cried and shivered.

Two years ago,
She is up and gone.
  Took a chance,
 It was wrong.

I remember when;
Life mattered.
  This is me,
Broken and shattered.
