Hanging By a Thread
My mind has wandered off the tracks again
Attempts to distract myself only succeed temporarily
I think he has this plan to end us as lovers by attrition
Withholding affection and slowly withering our connection
I’ve tried being more friendly
I’ve tried being a shoulder to cry on
I’ve tried blatantly saying, “If there is something wrong just tell me.”
I’ve tried ignoring him like he ignores me
So logic seems to say he is over me and so I must move on
But when I ask him he denies it
It is maddening when he says things like “I’d love to hear your voice too but there is no time.”
I am tired of twisting in the wind in this emotional entanglement
Keep me or let me go
The vagueness is killing me
