Distance

If feels like years since I've felt you close
There was a time when you were just a step away
Those days have vanished in the mist
Now, living under the same roof, you feel miles away

You were walking on a different path, all alone
Our distance grew with each touch, and I didn't see
I tried so hard to walk with you
But slowly we drifted, and you weren't near me

Each night, you sleep next to me
Yet, you feel so far away
I want to pull you back and sleep in your arms
But those feelings are hidden in a corner of my heart, and there is nothing else to say

Every morning, I see you walk out the door
What happened to those days when we kissed under the morning sun?
The missing passion, the lost love, now seem to shatter me
But away from these sorrows, I have nowhere else to run

I still wait each evening for you to come home
My heart hopes one more time, maybe I'll find love in your eyes
I still look at you the same way, reading your face
All I can see is failure wrapped around my never ending tries

Where did my love go wrong?
Why do you always ignore my heart's little tries?
You turn blind to my emotionless face
When will you hear my silent cries?
