Try

Round and round we go

Ships passing

Fast and slow

There’s you

There’s me

There’s us

What once was

Has lost its fairy dust

The love

May still remain

But it’s dimmed

And sadly stained

If only I can see me

Through your eyes

Perhaps I'd see a worn-out person

Full of compromise

Or perhaps you’re looking

Not to see

Just looking to

What you expect of me

Day in

Day out

Another one gone

We are slipping apart

But to you nothing is wrong

Resentment builds

So does the distance

One night of cuddling

Doesn’t just fix this

I used to be excited

To come home to you

Now I walk through the door

And feel alone here too

I express this to you

And I see that you "try"

It feels like a half-ass attempt

One you can’t understand why

One night

Doesn’t make up for most

Oh how angry I get

Giving in to be temporarily close

I want you to feel

The ongoing effect

I want to punish you

Offer you the same neglect

But my soul is too sensitive

My heart to sore

To inflict upon you

The same pain I endure

You may call me dramatic

Act like it’s all ok

Put up your walls of defense

Keeping your ego at bay

I am this

I am that

Blame me for what you will

I’ve decided to stop engaging

Stepping off the hamster wheel

The fatigue that accompanies

Every tone of distain

Is now what is left

Aside from the pain

You say you love me

To that I am not sure

I am not blind

Your heart is not so obscure

I’ve done my fighting

Now my cup is dry

Its your turn to do something

Or our love will surely die
