You, Me, Us

Husband and wife start a life together enjoying each other, somewhere along the way she's forgotten.

 

Our lives together used to be concrete,

but now there is something different.

We used to sit for hours and talk  about

you, me, us.

Somewhere along the way your disposition

changed on life, now what used to be you,

me, us, is only you.

 

Knowledge tells me that I'm lost and forgotten.

Your arrogance has caused so much pain,

but your too blind to see it.

I reflect on days that we used to share.

The laughter, fun ,the us is gone,eliminated

from your life.

We're only mere acquaintances.

 

Sacrifice has been apart of me for so long.

I loved you, and wanted to save us, but can't.

There is no us, only you.

I'm only an illusion in your eyes.

 

I'm spiritless, lost, uncertain, battered and

bruised from falling in the darkness,

trying to find me.

In order to find me I have to say goodbye

to you, so it can be about me.

[SpokenWord]

Why does this happen? I wish someone knew the answer to that question. I use to blame it on time, maybe chemicals dry up in our brains, I don't know. Good write.

[Ron]

Good work really! Verse two, Did you mean "arrogance" or arrogancy"? Is "cost" really "caused"? Last line is it "acquaintances"? The theme of familiarity breeding contempt or disregard is good. I like the woman working it out by writing! Super!
