Someone I thought I knew...

Now and then I think of when we first got together;
Like when you told me you felt so happy we found one another;
Told myself that you were right for me;
That you were my hero;
But I feel so lonesome in your company lately;
told myself that this was just part of love and it is how it is suppose to be,
this ache, I will always remember.

It seems I have become addicted to a certain kind of sadness and pain;
Like the acceptance of the role, I must play;
always the ache;
When I try to explain, maybe we could not make sense of one another.
Well, you said that you would try; did you lie?
I will admit I am glad that I get some sort of response.

You did not have to wall me off.
Make out like the fights never happened and our words meant nothing;
I don't even need this love;
I hate that you treat me like a stranger and it feels so hurtful.
No, you did not have to stoop so low,
Saying what you did.
You would rather have your "friends" than make amends with your own wife.
I guess that I do not need that though,
you are just somebody I thought I knew.
Now and then, I think of all the times you subconsciously sabotaged me;
But had me believing it was always something that I had done wrong.
But I do not want to live this way
analyzing everything you say;
You think it is so easy for me…
You said that you would do anything to make it work
And I would not have to worry about us;
We were supposed to be strong.

You did not have to block me off.
Make out like my thoughts, my feelings never really matter,
that it is nothing but a big joke to you.
I do need your love, but you treat me like a stranger and that just crushes me.
You didn't have to stoop so low to call me that,
making me feel worse than I do already.
I wish you would just see it from my point of view;
I guess that I do not deserve that much;
now you are just somebody that I thought I knew.
