Relationship In Crisis

I think it's time to admit the fact that our relationship is in crisis Every time I try to talk to you, you seem so distant I initiate conversations hoping you'll respond, but you never do When we fight and we stop talking to each other, I'm always the one that reaches out to fix things If I didn't reach out, I don't know if you would I try to do things that show you how much I love you, but you don't acknowledge my efforts Often times I feel like you are so distant I don't even know how to love you Like a child, I wait for the slightest sign of acceptance but you offer no reasurrance I pour my heart out to you in the hopes it will change your cold resolve but instead you crush me with your silence When you don't show up in important times when I need you, I make excuses for you I blame myself for your lack of interest in our relationship and wonder what I'm doing wrong I tell myself you are complex and there are good reasons you remain so withdrawn and hidden But when I hear others talk about their relationship with you I feel jealous I feel like I don't know who you are when you act completely different around other people I feel ashamed to talk to anyone about our relationship problems but sometimes I do Some say to keep trying and give it time Some say you've rejected me because I haven't approached you correctly Others say it's normal to have these feelings in this type of relationship But God, if that's true about you, why can't you tell me that yourself
