Do you still include me in your prayers at night?

Do I still make you want to be a better person?

Do you still listen to me?


Are we still together

because we're in love

or because it's convenient?

Pathetic excuses.


Do we still feel passion?

When the green-eyed monster dances our way,

do we feel this uncomfortable anger... resentment

or just hollow apathetic acceptance?


The talk of lovers weakened to

talk of friends to

talk of acquaintances to

talk of strangers.

Shall we wait for the emptiness to sink in?


Seeing flaws.

Being selfish.

Days together used to pass in seconds,

but now, have we grown weary waiting

in the embrace of forever?


What a sad state to be in.
