Till death do us part

image

The red berries are like my bleeding heart.
Your cold, cold words are tearing me apart.
Your harsh words so quickly said eat away at  me.
I can never be what you want, it’s not what I am, you see.

 

How did this happen, when?   how can this be so

We used to be so close and happy, you know.

There has always been tension and sprinkling of fear

But there was always love and tenderness , there was my  dear.

 

Now  we are together but a thousand miles apart

You don’t seem to want or need me and it is breaking my heart.

There is no answer. You just no longer care

I doubt you would miss me if I was not even there……………………

 

Do I resent this state, do I want this celibacy I have been force in to

Just  how to get through the long lonely  nights and endless days of nothing to do

Things I enjoy doing seem to deeply annoy you ,especially my writing.

Sometimes I think the silence fits me well, but then again anything,  anything screaming or fighting.

Would help to feel alive  and not stuck in this hell.
