Spiders web

I’m trying not to coast; stuck in a daydream of us,

With you holding me close.

But weeks pass by and now you’re more like a ghost.

Silent and out of reach, even when you’re right next to me;

I still have the house keys.

And maybe that’s what I am to you,

Just a shadow of the past, a ghost in your empty rooms.

I’d hope we could atleast talk soon,

But it seems you prefer this open wound.

I never thought you’d leave me for dead,

Like a fly out of breath caught in a spiders web.

Why won’t you grant me my peace? What is this lesson you’re trying to teach?

I understand you are overwhelmed, swamped with life’s responsibilities;

It’s as if you see me as just another leach, and I’m not, I wish you could see.

I’ve poured my heart out to you, and for all the world to see,

I ask only for transparency.

Though, if that is the case, won’t you set me free?

If you no longer love me, I’ve waited patiently and have even said please.

I don’t understand why you won’t release us from this misery;

But it’s too late. Your silence lets her in again; Hope.

My enemy and dearest friend.

Whispering just loud enough to hear, for a moment erasing all of my fears,

Silence is not a no, maybe he doesn't want to let you go; And it pierces my ears.

So, what’s one more night alone, in your silence,

As I am once again covered in tears.
