the glass in your eyes
is broken & your smile
has began to tarnish
from too many years
spent smoking crystal
and wondering if it will
ever mean something

i don't hate you, i just
don't want to bare your
children

or spend nights alone
wondering where you
are.

& i don't love you, i just
don't want to lose the
person you can be

the one who asks me how
i feel and then actually
listens

to the response.
