It’s Over Did It Ever Begin?
I don’t recall it did do you ?
It’s Over Did It Ever Begin?
We sat in silence avoiding each eye
Two tired strangers pretending to try
Love had grown distant and thin in the room
Wilting unnoticed like flowers too soon
Once there was passion or maybe just need
Something that looked enough like love indeed
Now every touch feels uncertain and cold
A story collapsing before it grows old
It’s over, did it ever begin
Was there real devotion beneath all the skin
Or did we just fear being lonely at night
Mistaking attachment for something more right
The photographs smile from happier days
Still I can’t tell if the joy was fake
Were we in love or just filling a space
Two wounded people afraid to face grace
Arguments faded to exhausted quiet
No energy left even trying to fight
That might be the saddest ending of all
Not rage, not betrayal, just nothing to call
You pack your clothes while the kettle hums low
Neither quite knowing the right words to throw
Years folding inward with hardly a sound
A whole shared existence shrinking down
It’s over perhaps long before today
Maybe the ending arrived on its way
Still part of me mourns what we tried to build
Even unfinished love leaves the heart filled
