Stand by and watch

I stand by and watch as my heart keeps getting torn apart,
Seeing the love I offer set aside because it's not quite dark,
How can someone say there in love but never show intimacy,
Love is kind and gentle never pushes or hurts thee,
If you never touch the one you love and only make love once a week,
How can anyone call that love that's called content and weak,
I strive to prove I'm different and better than I used to be,
But I refuse to feel as if useless and still unable to see,
I don't want to lay beside someone and still feel alone here,
I shouldn't have to feel that way against my own fear,
For year's I watched as tears fell from my face from pain,
Beginning for her love as I slowly began to go insane,
I see the love I offer to her just placed to the side because it's not quite dark,
As I stand by and watch as my heart keeps getting torn apart.
