How did we get here?
Daily arguments
Brandishing weapons
Hiding smiles
Dried up tears can no longer fall
From best friends
to enemies we don't need
From getting dressed to way too stressed
From having fun to not giving you none
From good smells to loud yells
Loving you was never this hard
And oh how I want to continue
But is it as worth it to you
As it is to me?
Is it as worth it to me
As I wish it would be?
We're regular people
With everyday issues of our own
We have our separate lives
But we bring it close to our together lives
We're poisoning each other's beautiful sides
We're causing frowns where smiles use to arise
From "you're great" to damn near hate
From poetry of admiration to living in damnation
From loving you like crazy to "you're just lazy"
I'm not bored
I'm not out of love
I'm not trying to see you walk away
I want to be with you every day
And I still miss you when you're gone
I still yearn for your touch
But our problems apart cause us to tear each other apart
And the one I should be holding
Becomes the one that I'm scolding
And the one you use to turn to
Your eyes now burn through
But I can't turn my back on you
Because of all the things we've been through
You were my best friend
I could talk to you about anything
Now everytime we talk
It turns to who can talk louder
And who can kick harder
And who can pack faster
Now, I haven't written a word in months
And this is simply a release
Poetry it may not be,
I'll have to read it and see
But, in any form, sir
I love you
and I never want to lose you
You are the friend I need
Yours is the touch I need to feel
Yours is the smile I need to see
You're my hero
You're my backbone
You're my reason
You're my man
I love you
