Together In Silence

2. Together In Silence

You can be alone and not feel lonely but I just wasn't built that way. I crave your touch, your scent, your attention. You're distant, far away from me even though you're right there. You're sitting next to me in silent company. If that's the case what is the point?

"Do you care?" I ask you.

"Of course." Is what you reply with every time, but I don't feel it. I can't feel it.

I miss the days where you tried hard and didn't complain about it. Back when loving me was one of those things you could do effortlessly.

What's change? "Nothing." You say, but I know better than to believe that.

You look at me, but there's no sparkle in your eye. You touch me but there's no affection in your embrace. All that is there is a black hole that is slowly draining me and sucking out my heart.

Is it my fault that we no longer see eye to eye or am I just not what you want anymore? I remember when you use to need me.

We sleep in the same bed yet I'm cold. There's no blanket that can cover up these feelings.

I am with you yet I am alone.

I am alone even when I'm with you.
