Divorcing the stranger

In my pocket
A stranger resides
A stranger resides
On my bedside
Who is this?
I thought I knew
These broken rose petals
Are withering away
Where have you gone?
Where will I stay?
The children in bed
Dream nightmares
About monsters
As they slowly bled
I am out of touch
With the life I once had
He's still there
And I'm still mad
This pocket of mine
Still holds that ring
Diamond lies
With a cubic-zirconia sting
This tall stranger
Still lingers on
As my teenage daughter
Now sees what's going on
She smells the smoke
She hears the screams
The fights I and this stranger had
Are haunting her once pleasant dreams
Now the stranger's gone
Left my daughter broken
Thoughtless
Anxious
Depressed
I guess...
But I'm still upset
Pessimistic
Annoyed
Heading down
To an unwinding void
