We Don’t Learn.

Things are turning back;

Too many old cracks.

This time there's too

many to patch.

Why are we so stuck?

Reliving the same

old defeat.

I wish things didn't

hit repeat.

We don't learn

from our mistakes,

it seems...

Or we'd not be

tearing apart,

at the seams.

I sit back

watching.

Helplessly.

I sit back.

I see;

Our relationship

weakening.

The days go by,

counting the spaces

between..

The silence,

that becomes

so deafening -

between us

as we sleep.

Trying to pretend

that things aren't

turning back.

That we don't lie

& I don't weep,

As you lay asleep.
