Lonley In Love

Together in a room
Sitting on the couch
So close
Yet miles apart

She stares at him quietly
Full of uncertainty
What was he thinking?
Does he even care?

Gazing out the window
The memories danced
As her mind faded
Into a dismal trance

Where there was love
Was now wasted space
Matched the expression
On his passionless face

Looking at her reflection
In the rippled glass

Or did she trick herself
Into believing the myth
That unconditional love
Did exist

A man whom she saw potential
But couldn’t give from himself
Didn’t seem fair
To hold him to his promise

So as he stared
At the television screen
She said goodbye to all
Her hopes and dreams

Left quietly
Without a trace
She was sure
It wouldn’t take him long
To fill her place

The replaceable
Easily forgotten about
HER
