Separate Lives

How on earth can anyone be so assured?

What seems so simple, so demure?

A thought that's too cold to shoulder

And it's making me older

What could possibly be the lure?

*

Who is there for me to tell?

When I don't look so good or feel so well

A thought rests anxious in my stomach

And makes my heart plummet

Is this the prize for which I fell?

*

Who sees the pain in separate lives?

What he can't provide, I'll find inside

What was once my everything

Is now nothing

What's the point when he won't even try?

*

Every end has a start.

So, in good faith I'll search my heart.

But there are no answers to my questions

And the only thought that beckons

Are we better off apart?

*

So, are we better off apart?

Then it chills me to the bone

Because, if we're better off apart

Then why on earth do I feel

So incredibly alone

*

He left me alone, am I to blame?

Or was he never even really here?

So, on my knees in your place, God

With all of my faith, God

I'll ask you again, why did he disappear?
