Piece by piece we have torn each other apart, Angry words and thoughtless gestures have broken our hearts.. Farther and farther apart we grew with every passing day, I wonder how long it will take before it all slips away... Over the years so many mistakes we both have made... Just look at the very high price both of us have paid.. The pain and mistrust just runs so deep and so wide, To many things went unnoticed like all the tears we cried... Sometimes there are things even love can't overcome, There comes a time when the feelings just go numb.. So, do we end it, or do we keep trying to hold on? To something we both now know in our hearts is wrong? It's too hard too reach out, too hard to tear the walls down.. And there just doesn't seem to be a way to go around... We try to find who's at fault while neither of us can hide.... There's just no changing the fact that the love we had has died... Do we say that we killed it, or that it just slipped away, While we just try to figure out how to get through each day... We can try to deny it, but from the truth there is just no escape.. I wish things could have turned out different for both of our sakes... 12/95 By Emerald
