Couples

Not long ago they shared as one Each thought was precious; each day was fun Now hours drag by, never regained No words are spoken - silence remains They're building walls with indifference as mortar Sharp words are used to expand the border Unwilling to break through walls of silence They can't find agreement, only defiance No closeness, no goals, no support, no caring Their paths have parted; they exist without sharing Life's journey seems endless; they've come just so far Cold spirits don't grow as they seek whom they are Silence is a heavy, decaying sensation They search for aloneness in retaliation They've lost personal confidence they knew before They wither and wilt as they daily mature Where did their paths part? What day did it start? They're every day lonely with heavy hearts They look for a crossroad to meet again Re-build as partners and remain as friends
