I think you stopped loving me today
You didn't have to say it, like you never had to tell me you loved me
I just heard it in your voice, and missed it in your laugh
You spoke gently and kindly but with none of the familiar adoration that has always acted as drift wood in my ocean
I think you stopped needing me today
You didn't have to show I just felt you slip away
Like the needle leaving my vein
The drug wore off and the pain kicked in
And I sat shaking after the click, trying hard to find us in the cadence of your tone
I think you stopped wanting me today
You didn't have to write it you just brought me down
I tumbled from my pedestal to a place of common ground inhabited by no ones and no bodies by strangers and passer by's
You never had to say it one way or another. Your body always told me, your soul always signed. You will never have to tell me because I know you better than my hand, no matter how lined. You will never have to tell me in any way. I think you stopped loving me today.
