I do not understand why you don't love
me.
You loved me once. What changed? What did I do?
Your eyes are
mirrors in which I can't see me.
Your lips are closed, a door I can't
pass through.
For years we shared our bodies, thoughts, and
lives.
Now we lie at night encased in stone.
Something's turned the
simplest words to knives.
I live with you, and yet I live alone.
I
do not want to be the one who leaves.
After all, I'm not the one who
changed.
But dead is dead, and for the one who grieves,
The loved
one should be gone, not just estranged.
You say that nothing's wrong
and all is well,
But I well know the truth you will not
tell.
