Loveless

Whatever made me think,

That settling would do,

Did you settle for me,

Like I settled for you.

 

We live as flatmates you and I.

I'm you cook and I'm your maid,

But this is the bed I've chosen,

And in it I am laid.

 

Our relationship it has no love,

No passion, no desire,

Was I really so naive,

To expect a sparkless fire.

 

Is it time for me to walk away,

Before it is too late,

To find the love this woman needs,

To start with a clean slate.

 

Oh how I wish that I could just,

Get up, walk out the door,

But duty, guilt and vanity,

Keep my here once more.

 

I pray someone will find me,

And give me what I need,

The strength and love to make the change,

To reclaim, what is me.
