We

We are people---
standing in the sun
swimming
hugging, kissing
doing all the things the lovers do?

can we stop pretending and come together?

you and I know the truth
the end is near, I fear this uncertainty

you and I know the consequences
and the way our viewpoints change our togetherness

what does this mean to you, anyway...
anymore?

all I know
all I see
is us
crumbling

you're everywhere
in my thoughts
in my dreams
in my heart

why don't you return the affection?
why is it always me?

busy, busy, busy
you used to make time
you used to care
"not as much as you used to"

is it me?
is it you?
I can't stake the blame
I can't help the way things are
the pacing or the tears

why have things played out this way?
I wish I knew

I tried to take things to you
only for you to shrink back to your crib
cry a river

words came so easily,
but this still seems so unfair

did you really do that?
how could that have been said?

I paint a smile on my face
look to yours to mirror it

is it you?
is it me?

all I know is me
all I know
is everything

everything is gone

what we used to be,
I keep holding on
trying to prove something
I don't even know
are you even "meeting me halfway"?

excuses, excuses
is it me?
