One Week

I've been crying more than usual lately
Maybe it's because I realized
I've orbited the earth nearly 23 times
Yet only lived for 7 days of it.
You tell me not to cry
But I only feel alive when you are near me
or when I'm crying.
I sobbed so heavily I worried I'd wake up the kids
I wept so fiercely I thought the keyboard would spark
for one week, I was in love, and someone loved me
Then somehow it all disappeared.
Left me a little more damaged than before.
I thought it impossible, but hey....
It was only a week.
