Questions

Sitting under a shady tree

On a sunshiny day

I listen attentively 

To all you have to say

I watch you smile

Oh I like this

I lean into you

For a soft sweet kiss

I hear the door slam

And I awake from my daydream

We no longer talk

We only shout and scream..

How did we go 

From great to bad 

What stole our happiness 

And made us so sad?

Everything I try 

It no longer seems right 

Every word you say

Leads to another fight

Can we not return 

From you and I alone 

To an “Us” again 

Not two souls but one

How did we go 

From talking everyday 

To a deafening silence 

That won’t go away…

How did this go so wrong? 

Who’s the one to blame? 

If neither of us changes…

Things will stay the same… 

Destiny made us cross paths 

Made me belong to you

Now we have drifted apart 

How sad but so true… 

I am mine 

You are yours 

How did things go so wrong

Between us?
