Tui Goodwin - loveless

As I lay still, awake at night,
Your silent figure lies in my sight,
So close yet I feel separated,
It seems our meeting was not fated.

Every enjoyment ends in argument,
In love is not how time is spent,
Your eyes are cold pools of distain,
Constantly causing me pain.

Harsh words said in raised voice,
I sit in silence, I have no choice,
It’s my fault I can’t compute,
The rest of my life I live in mute.

I feel the end but can’t turn away,
Pain feels like home so on I stay,
I hope that I do not fade,
and no longer feel betrayed.
