Lost Love

You say you love me

Do you really?

Actions speak louder than words

Yours say you don’t.

You claim to need me

If I were gone, would you miss me?

My company seems more of an annoyance

Is my character that much of a nuisance?

“I want you,” you say

Why do I not feel desire in your touch?

A lonely bed is my only companion,

Cold and unaffectionate.

Your eyes used to light up at the sight of me

Your body ready and responsive.

Now dead eyes greet me

As your body turns away.

Our conversations used to bring laughter to this cold apartment

Now there are only words left unsaid.

We used to love

We used to share.

Now passion is a distant memory

Will we ever again be as we were?

Only time will tell.
