Deviod of Trust

Trying to find some common ground 
in this maze called us... 
Love can’t survive on this battle-field 
with the absent of trust... 
You strip away everything real 
With your paranoia & dementia; 
Seeing things that isn’t there 
Has stripped my soul bare... 
I can’t carry the load of stroking your Ego 
Or proving i've done nothing wrong... 
Every time a woman looks my way; 
that's all it takes to keep us fighting for days... 
The absent of trust is killing us 
I'm in a prison of emotions trying to stay devoted 
you think it's the imaginary her that's pulling me away... 
But the bitter truth is, you're the one that’s making it Impossible to stay... 
Every argument & every time I have to defend my position; 
pushes me further into myself...and not into the arms of some imaginary friend... 
The absent of trust strips off the layers of love 
Now we're down to paper thin & hardly enough to keep us going... 
The cracks are really showing...no where in sight is common ground 
For all that we're knowing...with the absent of trust; 
common ground just may never be found!!!
