How Did We Get Here?

How did we get here?
I feel like I don't know you anymore.
Everything I once knew
has changed.


I don't understand.


All of a sudden, 
we're strangers.
Acquaintances.
How did we get here?


Who are you?
Where have you gone?
Why are you hiding?
We used to be so close.
Inseparable.
This distance
is unbearable.


I don't recognize you.
How did we get here?


Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
Distant is what you've become.
You've pushed me away.


So far away...


That I don't think 
there's anything
that can save us.
We've lost it all.


And I've taken a pretty big fall,
that I know I can't
get up from
on my own.


I need you.
How did we get here?

  1. This sounds like it could easily be a real song beyond just poetry. Very well written Lisa. I always am able to depict the emotion in your writing and it's overflowing with it.
