I wrote this inspired by my brother's story.
He got divorced recently and has never regretted his choice,
However, he cried on the other end of the phone.
Alone in the empty room
I lay down my body on the floor
For the room now I’m just a stranger
She doesn’t like me to be here anymore, here within her
Ahhh in a loud voice I say
My voice echoes throughout the empty room
Slight tremor of the air reminds me of a certain day
The day for the first time we were here in this room together
On that day I yelled exactly right here
Filled with joy and happiness
Slight tremor of the air gently tickled my skin
She and our baby in her womb were smiling by my side
I don’t think any of my decisions wrong
‘Cause it was already written to meet you and be with you in my
life
To be parted from you was as well as written in my life
What I did was just found and act them out
But now overflowing memories and times gone by are squeezing my
heart
Small puddle of tears appears on the floor
Now alone in the empty room
I see the ghost of my memories fading away
The last one remaining here is me, a stranger
Even the air in the room feels cold and distant to my skin
On that day the place was filled with joy and happiness
Today the place is filled with nothing
I get up to leave the room and
Say thank you with a long low bow to the room we’d lived our days
I don’t think any of my decisions wrong
‘Cause it was already written to meet you and be with you in my
life
To be parted from you was as well as written in my life
What I did was just found and act them out
But from somewhere I hear a slight sound of laughing we made on
that day
It makes me cry, make my heart aching
