In This Room

Sitting here in this room
in another place
Reflecting on life
and how I filled this space
Remembering the times
when I was cruel and unkind
Unearthing the bad aspects
Of me in my mind
And thinking of you
who has filled my life
My lover, my friend,
My wife
I am sorry that I may not be
All I could be
To you or our children
Or even to me
But I tell you this
and I tell it true
There's no one I love
In this world more than you
