COULD YOU NOT KNOW,
HOW COULD YOU NOT FEEL THE
EMPTINESS THAT SURROUNDS ME,
THREATENING TO STEAL THE VERY LIFE
FROM ME.
AND YET YOU GO ON UNAWARE,
WHEN DID YOU STOP FEELING ,
WHAT I FELT,
KNOWING WHAT I KNOW,
CARING AS I CARE.
WHY IS IT NOW THAT AS I
REACH OUT TO YOU,
SOMEHOW YOUR HANDS DON'T REACH BACK.
OUR HEARTS NO LONGER CONNECT.
WHEN DID YOUR SOUL STOP KNOWING
THE ESSENCE OF MINE.
WHY IS IT AFTER ALL THIS TIME
I FEEL YOU BECOMING A STRANGER TO ME,
AN UNKNOWN NOW,
THAT ONCE FILLED MY WORLD.
ARE YOU EVEN AWARE OF MY UNHAPPINESS
OR THAT THE LIGHT IS GONE FROM MY EYES?
DO YOU CARE THAT THOUGH I AM WITH YOU
I FEEL ALONE?
DOES IT EVEN MATTER?
TELL ME,
HOW AFTER ALL THIS TIME,
IS THIS HOW IT IS TO BE?
