He doesn't notice you anymore.

He looks right through you.

This is one of those moments,
you run everything you want to say
through in your head
and decide to keep quiet.
This is one of those moments,
you realise you could say it out loud
right to him
and he wouldn't even hear you.
So you do,
and he doesn't and you realise you are alone in this.

You are always alone.

You are another warm body.
You are not sexy,
you are not smart.
You are comfort,
you are warmth.
You are something he doesn't want
and doesn't want to give up.

How will you miss me when I'm gone,
if you don't see me now I'm here?

Why?

It seemed that just a day ago, we were doing fine. I held your hand, and you held mine. We hugged at dawn when you needed to leave All I knew was that I believed.

We

We smile. But not at each other. We laugh. But not together. We cry. To leave one another. We sleep. But not together. We listen. But never to each other. We talk. But to disagree with the other.

Twisted Love

A pretence of sleep, a steady breath. Your touch is warm and full of love But I remain cold. There is love here, but patience is thin And we are stretched out.

Beyond Broken

See the warnings, see the signs. It easier to just act blind. Until all that's left is silence. Together you feel apart. No longer speaking, no longer feeling. The space once crossed now void.

"Just friends"

Once, I placed you up high on love's suspension,. In its tender hands was a queer comprehension. Then, the voice in my throat grew less of my own. My lungs, damaged, from proportions you had blown.

You

I'm worn out; I just want to go to bed What's this all about; You getting stuck in my head.

Passing By

I can't recall the moment when the doubt ripped your face, Or put my finger on quite when the fog took your place..

Arms Length Away

I could not moved away. Yet I could not be beside you. It's the reason why our relationship is unclear. Because I want you enough not to be close to you. I want to be an arms length away.

true sadness is beautiful, no?

It's beautiful because it shows your emotions, and being able to share what you feel is beautiful. To see that someone is unhappy is to see that they care and have a heart.

I despair at your works @nakedisnotenough reading a view I didn't know existed.

@nakedisnotenough I think it was the idea of a growing mullet that sealed the deal on my crush on you. The writing too of course.
