Too Easy

You are making this
Too easy
Or so hard
That it’s becoming
Easy

Your response

When I say again
I can’t do this
Too much longer
Silence

Though you asked me

To talk to you
Said you wanted to hear
What I had to say

Me talking at you

Repeating the same old concerns
You not responding
So why did you ask

Your reaction

When I say that I
Can’t keep living alone with you
Can’t continue building a full life
Separate from you
Can’t keep watching you do nothing
While you watch me do everything
Silence

Futile to keep

Asking you to live
When you
Don’t want to

I’m not even asking

That you
Love me

That’s a request for

A different time
A stronger you

I’m asking

That you
Love you

Because maybe

When you love you
You will want to live

And when you want to live

You may care again about love

And living is what I want for you

And loving is what I want for us

Are you getting this

I’m not asking you to see
I’m asking you to live

Because I can figure out

How to live
With blind you
But I cannot figure out
How to live
With lifeless you

I cannot

Figure out
How to live
With someone
Who is dead inside
And doesn’t care
To find out why
