In Between the Lines

Woke up again this morning afraid to open my eyes As you prepare for an early departure a piece of me silently dies; I want to say I love you but from hurt only raw emotion abides ; another day wasted and as always love gets denied......... knowing that very instant what lies ahead for me in these already dark and sullen skies. Everyday is similar you are distant so am I but that happens with us almost every time. It's easy to make me happy if you were willing to try but instead of caring for me you rebuke poke and pry making me resent and hate myself for perpetuating this lie. Can't imagine a conversation where we could ever see eye to eye in a perfect world we'd embrace one another but instead our worlds collide. Tragic and never ending days turn into nights where a cold sudden distance is what traps us inside. You go your way I go mine never finding a common ground to let the error of our ways and pain subside.
