Inside your apartment we speak
Awkward words spill from ourmouths
We would speak of memories
But we've never shared any
We've nevermet
Strangers with the same genes
The couch is tattered and worn
So ismy patience with your guilt
Did you really want to meet me
Or is this somesort of closure for you?
Stop trying to build a relationship
On afoundation of guilt
Bitter years of resentment scratch inside my mind
All Ican think of is running from this place
So as I sit here on the musty orangecouch
I want you to know that I don't want to be here truly
With your lovethat never mattered until now.

This is really sad! But I think your emotion comes across very clearly. I like how honest it is.
