The End of Trust

When I walk beside you, please, hold my hand

I don’t expect you to understand it all

But I hope … you might try to break my fall

You might reach out

You might even try to connect

Place your feet close, to where I stand

 

Your disconnect is wearing

A resistance to sharing leaves me wondering

Is this it?

Did I imagine you – was it real?

Digging deep, on repeat

Is it just time you want to steal?

 

I voice my needs, planting seeds

Your absent mind fails to reveal

How you truly feel

I am alone in my heart and mind

I search deep but fail to find you

Tell me, when did you fall behind?

 

There is a weight upon my shoulders

I need your love, I need you here

I sense a love that still smolders

I send you love notes

You send me nothing in return

Yet I imagine there’s an ember that still burns

 

I am lonely in this love song

I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong

But I’m lonely and you’re not here

When I need you, to be strong

 

I hope you’re happy, it’s all I wish for you

But I struggle with your absence

when I need your arms around me

Most of all

I try my best to hold it together for everyone

But I’m lonely, and I miss us

You seem so distant and I don’t like to make a fuss

 

I can’t help how I’m feeling

It leaves me reeling to imagine

This might be the end of trust.
