Gone

Each time she says "I love you", he says "I love you too",

and yet there is no evidence; his actions don`t ring true.

Of late she`s been pathetic and cried a million tears

yearning for some guidance, some hope for future years.

She`s begged him to be honest, to tell her what went on;

top marks for being consistent, but the truth will come along.

They`ve lost all converstion; he uses her for his needs;

money, car and cigarettes, a bed and constant feeds.

*****************************

She pleads with him to understand her heart is bruised and torn

he dodges pain-filled questions, responding with a yawn.

Insisting that they go to bed together not as one

he`s sound asleep in seconds; her lonely night`s begun.

*******************************

Why does she bother caring; worrying what might be

when really all that`s left of them are painful memories?

*******************************

At times they act like strangers; there`s nothing left to say

What happened to affection, did they lose it on the way?

It`s like they talk two languages frustrated with the task

of trying to understand each other; they hide behind a mask.

He laughs at her suggestions, mocks her when she cries

oblivious to her torment, unable to compromise.

*******************************

They used to be so tender, lived in each other`s dream

looked forward to a future living as a team.
