Awkward
that silence between us
it used to be filled with laughter
and now it's just filled with arrogance and scorn
Stubborn
a flaw both of us posses
we used to use it to our advantage
and now it's breaking us up little by little
Hatred
something i hope you do not feel
it never used to live inside us
but now it consumes us
Sorrow
what i feel most
it's this situation with you and me
and i don't know how to overcome it

you might add a scenario to each stanza- paint a picture for us that maybe you are referencing that can further relate us.

I like those single-word lines with which you begin your stanzas. The second one would be better rendered as "stubbornness," however; incidentally, you could also develop an end-rhyme, were you so inclined, with the next line and the word "possess." Of course, if you did it in this stanza, you would probably have to have similar end-rhymes in the others as well. It's entirely up to you.
You have good ideas and good content. A little polishing here and there would bring the poem to a nice shine.
I hope you will be encouraged to share more of your work with us here. I enjoy reading it.

Kim,
I would agree with both the comments above... the first line of each stanza is strong but the second one could be improve...
