Why do you have to be
So hard to love?
The vibes I get from you
Are just so rough.
The way you talk to me
In your tone of voice
Makes my heart sink…
I have no choice.
I try to forget
All the hurtful words you say,
But you make it impossible
When it happens every day.
How long will you keep
Putting salt in my wounds?
My love is drying out
Much more than prunes.
With every knock down blow
Another brick is laid
Upon this wall between us
That both of us have made.
These last few years
Have been the worse of my life.
I do not feel love,
And I don’t feel like your wife.
I want you to know I love you
And I am still hanging on,
But my fingers are slipping…
Will you lend me your arm?
