Seperate Lives

I can't go on living like this it's just not right You don't want me all we ever do is just fight I need some loving right now and I don't mean sex Time out we need some proper reality checks You do your thing and I do mine we never meet If I stand up I feel like I'm under your feet Just can't go on pretending we're husband and wife We live together but we both have separate lives It never used to be this way We shared our love each day Now I just don't feel like I'm your wife Each day we're chasing separate lives We need to call it a day I can't live like this I really don't feel there is anything I'll miss You carry on like I'm not even here with you Ignoring every word I say or every thing I do There's nothing left you just can't look me in my eye You shout and scream at me but you don't see me cry I know I cant go on much longer living this way Separate lives is not for me I need love today Missing our love, but it's not there anymore Things went so wrong I don't want to be here Moving on now love has gone from our lives Without love we must find a way to go on It never used to be this way We shared our love each day Now I just don't feel like I'm your wife Each day we're chasing separate lives Jane Shields 05th November 2016

I understand Jane, sometimes a poem or lyric comes to me fast too, however, when posting if we want others to take our writing seriously, the least we can do is spellcheck.

Will do. Tank you. I tend to rush things once I start writing. This only took about 15 minutes to write. x

Cutting pen. Visceral. "If I stand up I feel like I'm under your feet" is a crazy good line! IMO it alone is a poem complete :) xomo
