Fading Light - a poem about sad endings and saying goodbye

I am no longer what you want
Certainly not what you need
You are just on standby
Waiting for one of us to leave

The love light has died within you
Snuffed out and gone away
All that's in your heart's resentment
That grows a little every day

Your eyes don't hold onto love
And you no longer see me
You see dreams wasted
What now, will never be

We were meant to be together
But our forever is rather faded
We are not even present
As even that seems jaded

Who will be the first to admit it
To look the other in the eye
Squeeze their hand for the last time
And whisper a gentle goodbye
