I would like to dedicate this page to my husband who after 9 years of marriage broke my heart...
 
 
  Someday, I hope to tell the story, from my perspective, what happens when a marriage falls apart. For now I just need to release the sadness and pain.
  This page is simply a self expression to help me go on with my life.


And so, I call myself "Only the Lonely1"

for only the lonely can truly understand the hurt, pain and sadness.

I paused for a moment to listen as a truck passed by because, you see, even now, I wait for him to drive up. Just prior to Valentines Day, 1997, my husband, my one and only friend, left me. You see, I was just shy of turning 40. A difficult age for a woman. Then he just left, with no explanation, no forwarning. I was devestated. I couldn't understand why. I cried for weeks. I paced the floor at night...I could not sleep. I thought I had tried so hard, done everything I could to make this marriage work but I had failed somehow. There wasn't any fight left in me. Nothing mattered anymore. I couldn't function. It affected my work, even to this day. I tried to throw myself into my work but I couldn't concentrate and I couldn't stop crying. I still cry. I feel dead inside.

While its true he never told me the reason he left and never admitted anything, I believe he had an affair and that it was of course going on for a long time. I know in my heart the truth although he says its still isn't true. In a way, this all seems like a dream. A dream that never ends. My husband and I are still married, but we don't live together. He lives in a different town and I rarely hear from him. You see, he came back and decided he didn't want the divorce, but then took a job far away from home. And there never has been a chance to heal or to work on our marriage. The last time I spoke with him, I told him I considered myself husbandless and talked about sending him the divorce papers. But he said he wanted to come home and so I began again to get my hopes up. And for a little while, he called frequently, but now its back the same way and he hasn't called in a month. How can a marriage work under circumstances like this. I don't know. I know I am tired of being alone and sad and not knowing what the future holds. Don't get me wrong, I am not interested in finding someone new. I love my husband. But I can't hang in limbo anymore. He needs to decide if he wants to be here or not and if he wants to be a husband or not. Now if only I could say that to him. I would have my answer. Because if he leaves then its done. If he comes back, I will work with him to make our marriage work. I just can't do it alone.

 
  And so, I dedicate these songs to my husband because they say the words that I can never say.
  Unbreak My Heart
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me
Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Un-do this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart, my heart
Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me
Ohh, oh
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me
(rpt 1)
Un-break my
Un-break my heart, oh baby
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on
Shattered Dreams
So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know
I thought it was you
Who would stand by my side
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams,
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You said you'd die for me
Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right
I thought it was you
Who would do me no wrong
From this empty heart
I thought it was you who said you'd die for love
Oh no no no - you said you'd die for me
Oh oh, oh oh, die for me
So much for your promises
Quit Playing Games With My Heart
Even in my heart I see
You're not bein' true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing's like it used to be
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby
Quit playin' games with my heart
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should've known from the start
Before you got into my heart
I live my life the way
To keep you comin' back to me
Everything I do is for you so
So what is it that you can't see
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad
You better quit playin' games with my heart
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should've known from the start
Before you got into my heart
Quit playin' games
Baby, baby the love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hangin' here forever
Oh baby, baby this is not a lie, let's stop
This tonight
Baby, quit playin' games
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
Quit playin' games with my heart
Quit playin' games
Baby, baby the love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hangin' here forever
Oh baby, baby this is not a lie, let's stop
This tonight
 
  I think that sometimes, in trying not to hurt someone, we cause them more pain....
  than if we had just said and done what needed to be said and done.
