Love

They say you never truly know who you're getting married to until you live under the same roof with them. Too late, I'm married now.
They say you don't know what you've got till it's gone. Too late I'm married.
I'm unhappy and unmotivated yet I stay for love... love of and for my children.
Their love compels me to stay... and pray.
To pray that my marriage, albeit a bad one, will somehow teach them that they deserve better; that indeed there is something called love; that marriages stand because people love each other and are committed not because they are bound by a contract.
I hope to still have a part of me that I love when the kids are gone because I die daily.
That my efforts to love their mother despite everything she's done and continues to do will not be misinterpreted as a sign of weakness but strength... much needed strength for them.
