You sleep beside me yet I feel completely alone

No attempt to touch my hand

To hug my clearly crying soul

To comfort me when you know that I too am struggling

You move about the house

Not a care in the world

No good morning words

No good morning kiss

I question why I continue to do this to myself

I wonder why I put up with so much

I don’t understand why I can’t just walk away

I can’t comprehend my inability to put myself first

Why can’t you just realize the harm you inflict

Why can’t you just realize that shutting me out doesn’t do any good

Why can’t you just realize that I’m in this for you

And why can’t you just be in it for me, too
