A Love To Vanish

Sitting in this confinement
Surrounding me; four solid walls
His eyes might spot my pain-filled trap
Yet away from it he crawls

Like steaming hot water pipes
I burst through sweating tears
Only way to find you
Exposed with every fear

Your eyes show an emptiness
What wasn't there before
Actions show your carelessness
My love can heal no more

Compassion you held so dearly
How could you begin to slip away?
I can't let go so easily
As no more than asking you to stay.
