Feelings

Frustrations of going through the days
Wear a brave face 
Continues to take my place
Day in and day out
My feelings seem like there in a cloud
Floating above my head
My speech is unsaid
My heart is unfed
I am empty inside
I've begun to open my eyes
All I hear is lies 
Each stage of goodbyes
Bring me right back to the beginning
One day here
One day gone
Until this day 
Waiting for you to respond
To the words
To the feelings
The breathing 
The meanings
Of our love
Drag me back and fourth
Round and round
Standing here
Screaming "let me out"
Out of this
What you call us
This circle of trust
I can no longer fuss
It is you either
Lead me in or
You leave me out
Smiles are coming 
Its life without you so
I can no longer pout

Very difficult kind of relationship, and you have told it in an effortless manner yet the reader is right there with you. I liked it. :)
