A Doomed Relationship

I love you much, too much
                                          Its extent is such
                                     That I can give my life
                                               For you
                                                  But
                                           You would like
                                          To bleed my life
                                                Bit by bit
                                    By the dagger of indifference.
                                         I yearn for your voice
                                     You shun, leaving no choice
                                               But to tell you,
                                            You were so nice
                                        When you needed me.
                                              Sweet words,
                                            Sweeter gestures
                                             Flowed from you
                                          With friendly postures
                                         When you needed me.
                                             Now the need is over
                                       And in the peace of violence
                                       The relationship has doomed
                                           Into the noise of silence.
