Sweet Nothings

Such sweet nothings whispered into my ear, For my already low self esteem to hear. Do you think it's nice to say all those ugly things, When you know the consequences it brings? The pain, the tears, the yelling and the fights, Why do you do this when you know it's not right? I thought true love would conquer all, Instead, you keep putting bricks in the wall. Will we ever give up and admit our defeat? Or do we have enough love, to not be beat? As sorry as I am for us not to be, I fear it's what's best for you and mostly for me. I know I'll love you for all of my life, And I'll never want to be anyone else's wife. I only hope at some point, we'll be able to talk and not scream. Is friendship after a failed marriage too much to dream?
