Broken

BROKEN


I didn't want it to happen
I never dreamed it would
But I feel us growing apart
No longer lovers entwined as one
Now we're more like siblings with limited toleration all around


When did the distance grow
Was it something I could have stopped
Or did I contribute to my own loneliness
By burying my soul so far from the surface
Wallowing in grief and all encompassing self-degradation


I thought we'd always be together
But now I'm not so sure
And the thought of leaving your side is a stabbing double-edged sword
You are and always will be my one and only soul mate
But I have other needs you seem to be ignoring


I'm not sure I have the will to start my life again
I've been through a lifetime of difficult change
I no longer have the will to break free from the absorbing routine
I can't stand the thought of change
But will my soul survive if the change never comes
