The Faucet Has Run Dry (with audio)

The light has burnt out 
the faucet has run dry 

Deflated we talk 
chalking up a tally of our failures
I didn’t do this 
You forgot that 
I didn’t acknowledge your wins 
You forgot to love me

It appears resentment is stored 
in the same compartment as affection
and the heart becomes hardened 
in the face of constant rejection

Aching, we let go 

I’ll never touch you again 
Our thoughts and days will no longer be shared
the door will be slammed 
the cord will be cut on all we once were

The light has burnt out 
the faucet has run dry 
there’s nothing left between us 
all that’s left is goodbye
