Retribution

I heard a whisper, where there was none before
 I was greeted politely, when I entered the door
 I pull you close, to receive an embrace
 I search for affection, without a trace
 It's nothing I see, yet it does show
 It's nothing exact, and yet I do know
 
 There's little things without being anything at all
 It's your cordial greeting whenever I call
 Your speaking volumes without a word being spoken
 Your being so kind over my heart being broken
 I sneak away and scream `This isn't right!`
 You put me through hell with a quick kiss goodnight
 
But then..
 
 I could not see when your attention was mine
 And drowned in my pity when you through me a line
 All of those nights you longed for my touch
 The sweet regret I had used as a crutch
 How many ways did you beg me to see
 That I couldn't love you if I didn't love me
 
 The only constant I fear is change
 My haven is now distant, cold and strange
 I see your retreating for I'm not blind
 And it's my shell you're leaving behind
 If there's a way it's not within sight
 So I continue screaming, and cursing the night.
