Silent War

I extend my hand for you.
For you, I extend my help.

I listen to your painful cry.
Painful cry, I listen, yet I hear nothing.

You stab me with your harsh words.
Harsh words, you stab me with an invisible dagger.

I have known you not long.
Not long did I know you not to be this way.

I think we are very similar.
Very similar, yet to think of acting as you do...

I wonder if you care for my feelings.
My feelings are wondering too.

They question each move I make.
I make those questions, how absurd.

You speak so simply to my heart.
My heart, alas, doesn't take it as simple.

Your emotions come so short yet sour.
Yet sour are the emotions you leave me with.

I can't imagine how you dragged me into this.
Into this I can't imagine a way out.

You started lovely and I envied your spirit.
Your spirit could have started and stayed.

You wilted and you seemed to collapse.
To collapse from wilting cannot be your fault.

I can only hope I was not the cause.
The cause, I hope, has a positive effect.

Then in the middle I had to land.
To land in the middle of a silent war.

To take sides would mean the end for me.
For me, is there any love from either side?

And now it's just you and me alone.
Me alone, are you the enemy now?

All my feelings lost inside.
Lost inside, I'm feeling alone.

To talk to a friend seems the perfect remedy.
Perfect remedy really would be to talk to you.

I suppose I should leave you alone.
You alone would destroy you, supposedly.

But who thinks of your opinions?
Your opinions I have to think about constantly.

When will this war come to an end?
An end that never will come too soon.
