Bridge

never been more alone

never been more alone

I used to hold your hand

But now you pull away

Where there was once conversation

You have nothing more to say

Eyes that once said, “I love you”

Are now sheltered and hidden

The passionate love we once shared

Now forgotten and forbidden

The bedroom where our love bloomed

Is now lifeless, cold, empty

The woman I held close every night

No longer shares a bed with me

We live together in a house

That used to be our home

Together now for twenty years

We have never been more alone
