How It's Gone So Bad Between Us

 I look into your distant eyes and wonder

Where your thoughts have turned and utter

Curses under breath turned sour

Regarding all that's come before

And how it's gone so bad between us

And how your heart has turned to stone

And how it all has gone so wrong

As I take your hand you shudder

Pull away with tears and mutter

Your voice so cold and gaze now hollow

Your thoughts and fears I dare not follow

How could the fire have got so low

Been left so long our love is gone

And how it all has gone so wrong

 

Your tone is cold as alabaster

Your laughter such a painful matter

To hear your scorn in every note

To see you drained of any hope

Oh how it's gone so

Bad between us

And how it all has gone so wrong

This Newest Cold Front

This newest cold front

The worst so far

Makes your teeth chatter an' clatter

Which gets on my nerves

It freezes your pipes and makes you stutter

Also

I rub my palms for warmth but

Our loins remain cold as a vacuum

I can see my breath

When you enter the room

The cold front comes from

Within

Without any forecast warning

And we are left having any sparks of warmth remaining

Between us

Snuffed out

The Wars of Words and Sly Manipulations

The wars of words and sly

Manipulations

Malfeasance

Between us

Could heat the house all winter

Maledictions too

Uttered from your beautiful mouth

These things all bind us in love and hate

Two emotions so seemingly apart

Yet kindred

Conjoined twins of the shining bright

And impenetrable dark

On your hourglass figure

My mind can linger

The sharp cut intelligence of your mind

Too, which binds

We bite and scratch with

Increasing passions

Our breaths and hearts get caught up in all

The wars of words and sly

Manipulations
