I watch you closely
From across the room
Wondering how things
Could have gotten so complicated
I smile as I think back
To the happier times we’ve had
Your eyes so full of love
Shining down at me
We could read each other’s mind
With one simple glance
You were my life
My shelter from the world
I felt so safe then
With your arms wrapped
Protectively around me
I stand here now and
Try to understand
What has happened
We go through the motions
Like an old routine
I love you rolling off our tongues
More as an obligation
Than a feeling
But yet here we are
Grasping to hold onto
A love that has left
Not wanting to leave the memories
To scared to be alone


I couldn't find a fitting title for this poem... if you have any suggestions please let me know.

I really like this...didn't want to get all teary eyes at three in the morning, but hey, it was worth it...don't know about a title though.            Tony
