You say I'm distant...
But you have no clue
The depths of my soul
I've longed to reveal to you

I used to tell you everything
My thoughts
My feelings
I opened up my heart

But so often you weren't listening
You didn't hear a single word
I tried so hard to be heard

I cried
I pled
I had to yell
But still you were deaf
My words like silent snow flakes fell

I tried to make you feel my pain
But still I was ignored
And now you have lost my heart
The love can't be restored

You say I'm distant...
You tell me, now, you're ready
To listen to my plea
But it's too late
To give me what I need

I tried to wait
For you to tell me
I was adored
The time has passed
I was ignored
My love didn't last
Because,

Like all living things require
My love needed to be fed
It was not nutured or desired

And now my love for you
Is quite completely
*DEAD*
