Strangers

 

STRANGERS

 

Hi you, it's me, can you look into my eyes?

When I talk to you, you look right through

you don't even realize

that I'm reaching out and you're just not there

I wonder why you stay?

What is it that holds you here

each and every day.

Sometimes I feel invisible

like I'm screaming in a room

No one seems to hear me

My heart is full of doom.

We co-exist together in this house we call a home

but you have your life and me, I'm just alone.

We pass each other in the hall,

I do the things I should

Cook your food, wash your clothes

try to make your life so good.

For what, I wonder? as I do it all each day

When will this all come to an end?

It should and I hope and pray.

I want a man to love me to the depths of his very soul

the way I love when I give it all

with him, I want to grow old.

This travesty we call "us" is really not an "us" at all

It's you and me living seperately

not caring where we fall.

How long can we go on like this

and what does it all mean?

We are strangers in this house

not knowing each other at all

and yet I still keep hoping

each and every time you call

that you'll want to know how I'm doing,

that you miss me and I mean so much

but here I am in this empty life.....stuck!

We, my husband, are strangers.........

Again OMG tears streaming from my eyes :(
You and I are living the same life it seems
it sucks, but the reasons why we stay others don't understand
I'm here for you and totally understand where you are coming from
Someday freedom will be ours and we will have the love we deserve. I just pray that our children
will have it better
