I so wish you would just talk to me
It feels like you are pulling away
Distancing yourself from intimacy
And distancing yourself from me
With your unemotional silence
Accompanied by no enthusiasm
For my kisses or affection
And terseness of voice
As you pull away
With each day
And yet
My eyes are dry
Holding back tears
And fighting all fears
You are planning to leave
While I keep on hanging in there
Hoping and praying for improvement
And for love to bloom anew for we two
A love reborn between me and you
Or maybe nothing will happen
With things continuing on
You staying married
For convenience
Until I die
All alone
And sad
I so wish you would just talk to me . . .
