It's as if I don't exist in your presence
speaking nothing but silence
that deafening air between us
do I not matter to you?
you, lost in a gaze
staring...at the tv
not in my eyes, as a lover would
I miss feeling like I was the center
of you universe, the life that pumped
through the veins of your love for me
when you would do anything to keep me
from walking out that door
that was so long ago
Where has that gone, dissolved away
in this lifeless thing we call a relationship
Disconnected by your self-centeredness
and disengaged by your apathy
You have taken me for granted once again
I am bored and I fear
I will be driven by desire
to seek my own entertainment
the entertainment of another
