You dont know loneliness
Until you've felt alone in the presence of someone you used to love
So close but you're out of my reach
This silent environment
Thick with quiet resentment
Nothing left to say
Only dead attempts to reason
Our dry eyes are indifferent
The lack of reaction is now common ground
Not like the tear soaked cheeks we once wore on the regular
Emotionless, hoping to go unnoticed
I try to stay motionless
Fragile egg shells shatter under the pressure of even the most cautious step
All efforts to remain undetected are futile
Against your shining spot light that illuminates my every mistake
Teetering on a tight rope
I stumble as every move made is met with criticism
This bond we once had
Turned into a rotten and bitter rivalry
Exhausted and mentally battered
Frequent arguments created this distance
I almost miss the passion of our bickering
Now it doesnt exist at all
Atleast we used to fight
Now we barely talk
