Things used to be, now they not.
Anything but us is who we are.
He slept with his back towards me and i him. The space between us begged to be filled with anything but our disdain for the other, but our bodies payed no heed.
Disguising ourselves as secret lovers
We've become public enemies
Life at home could be compared to a cold warzone. We walked around each other, no glances spared, no words shared. The masks we put up for our friends and family dissolved as soon as we crossed the threshold. They waited to be painted on again for tomorrow's performance.
We walk away like strangers in the street
Gone for eternity
We had nothing left to offer each other. No words could be shared, no fleeting touches, no loving stares or small endearments for our ears only. We parted ways as soon as we entered our home like we had for weeks.
We erase one another
So far from where we came
I heard him on the phone this morning. He used a tone on his end, one i hadn't heard in so long. The smile on his face could be easily detected through his excited whispers. I walked around him and took care of my business, quiet as possible, considerate of his conversation. He payed me no mind, caught up in his own world and the new life he was surely building for himself.
With so much of everything
How did we leave with nothing?
I remember the day i fell in love with him. All puppy dog eyes and bright smiles. What went wrong in our short six years? A simple falling out of love. There's nothing more to it. Tense silences, hateful words, slamming doors and broken picture frames.
Lack Of Visual Empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E
Hatred and attitude tear us entirely
As Far as either of us were concerned, we were nothing to each other. Simply housemates with lost feelings. There were days where you both missed the love you once shared; Days you both wished it could be rekindled. Maybe that was why neither of you had had the heart to end what you had even if it was nothing. Maybe.
