You'Re Bumming Me Out

i spoke too soon.
my heart, my moon
turned their back 
with the sunrise.
a new day
in a different light,
clear as day 
you are no longer in sight.
have i been feeding 
this disinterest
with all i can't seem
to put to rest?
maybe this time
i can learn to walk away
before you find
the right words to say
this isn't what you wanted.
it's just not there.
the communication 
and the admiration,
it's just not there
and you're bumming me out.
everything truly is a cycle.
i'm wading in the water
and you're walking off the beach.
yes, the sunset is beautiful
but who the  cares
when all that comes after
is darkness?
walking back, cold and damp,
i reach out for your hand
but it just falls through,
it doesn't land.
i make it home, regardless.
and i switch on the lamp
and for a second
i can see your shadow
still flickering
so i run to what isn't there. 
soon to realize i am alone,
left with the reminder
that love is seldom fair.
