A Bland Question

Every eve, you ask me
How was your day?
As if you care, as if you know
As if you have something to say

Every eve, I answer too
It was fine, nothing new
As if I mean it, as if I feel it
As if I really have nothing to do

Every eve, we repeat this
A ritual, a habit, a routine
As if we are happy, as if we are close
As if we are living a dream

But we are not, we are not
We are hollow, we are empty
We are strangers, we are robots
We are nothing but a parody

You don't see me, you don't hear me
You don't know me, you don't love me
You don't ask me, you don't tell

Such a sad one. Perhaps the question needs to change to bring back that something between the two who were brought together at one time.

Sigh. So many relationships become stale, routine, mundane. The fire dims, the room grows cold. Nicely written Jaymee
