Their eyes used to sparkle
seeing you again
You saw your own image
reflected in them
but now they look away
The ceiling gets so dark
as you ask it questions
and get no answers
in the middle of the night
nothing seems right
The withdrawal comes
femurs hurt from want
as you beg for sleep
and "why" is so long
but always comes up short
You want to be alone
but can't escape the pictures
that flood your mind's eye
pictures that want to be
but will never be
you know it's not right
to feel this way
no one deserves it
when love flips
to hate
