am I not?

everything and nothing

It cannot go on,
this emotional duress you arrest me.
Not that you are privy to my thoughts.
But it is your fault.
You led me into hoping for more,
hoping for a future,
all the while bating my heart with unknowing ease.
Now I like everything about you,
see you in my sleep,
whisper your name at home.
But still I know nothing about you.

For while you are everything to me
I am nothing to you.
