You Don't Say Goodnight

You don't say goodnight anymore -
You never really did though, I guess
I was the one to always kiss you and leave you with sweet dreams.

And here we are:
Two strangers
Too estranged
What feels like nothing.

Burdended by a committment not yet there;
No ring, no promise
Just emptiness.

That's what it is.
Not a blank slate; that's too clean.

A sudden emptiness
Filled with an awayness that has been there...
And stayed.

You don't say goodnight anymore.

You turn up the sheets
And turn down the light.

You don't say goodnight anymore.
