All I Have Is My You

Wandering eyes
Blank stares
Useless conversation
Benign life waiting to happen

Try to rein you in
Talk endlessly
All futile attempts
No reaching through your wall

All I have is my you
What I remember of us
We’re here together
What the hell does it matter
Useless memories are all I have

You talk when something has to be said
No need to waste your breath
Your cigarettes will do that
Mid-fight light another `cause avoidance is your game

Maybe isolation is what you want me too feel
I think that’s a dirty deal
Considering our love used to be so strong
Apparently now you want to string me along

All I have is my you
What I remember of us
We’re here together
What the hell does it matter
Useless memories are all I have

YOU say YOU want to STAY -----
What the hell do YOU want-----------

I ----can’t take anymore----------
YOU ARE---KILL---ING------ME IN-SIDE

Go away or stay -----I don’t care anymore-------------
I don’t care anymore-----------------------------------------

All I have is my you
What I remember of us
We’re here together
What the hell does it matter
Useless memories are all I have
What the hell does it matter
Useless memories are all I have

All I have is my you----------------------------

Very poignant poem that speaks to the pain of a faltering relationship and the longing for love. It's all about communication, isn't it? I particularly loved these lines.

Try to rein you in
Talk endlessly
All futile attempts
No reaching through your wall

This would make a wonderful song. I hope to hear it on the radio one day.
