wisdom known to gals of just a certain age

As I sit in this bookstore/coffee shop I see the biography section

Without You

Without you there is pain

Every breath outside your presence is a futile gesture

Enough to sustain my body and mind while my heart chokes more and more

Every step outside your presence

mimicking the weary minds of his players.
Sitting catatonic and suicidal beneath
several agonizing apathetic layers.

It is our 10-year anniversary.

The kids are sound asleep.

She gently leads me by my hand to the bedroom.

In my mind ideas swirl.

What selfish carnal pleasures await me this night?
