These Walls

There's no easy way to say
I've outgrown you in every way.
Your skin has shrunk and fades away.
I don't know if I'm to miss you yet.
It happens this way sometimes.

When she learns and he begs,
And gives up so the day she returns
It's too late 'cause he's moved far away.
These walls are so cold but they hold.

Strange this vacant stare can fill
Every moment shared between you.
And, your world, the hollow grave?
Bury pity, comfortable, and,
Soon, it happens this way sometimes.

When she calls and gives in,
He says no other way.
So she bleeds
When he starts killing her love for him.
These walls are so cold but they hold.

I learned and you begged,
And, that's when you gave us up.
And, the day I returned,
I did not want you back.
These walls are so cold.
I pushed and you shoved,
And then down we both fall.
There's no place like the hell
That this house has brought us.
These walls are so cold but they hold.
