Marital Discord

Neither of us is sleeping

Lying back to back

Blood shot eyes are weeping

The place from which we are

We both question

How we fell so far

Eyes drying up now

They weep no more

As we both reach for

The bedroom door

Faces pale

Skin ablaze

We speak no more

Distant memories trapped in haze

So say goodbye and close your eyes...

Wait

The nights not over

We've still got time

For one last kiss;

A long goodbye

A weighted heart

Leaps at joy

As it realizes it, too, will miss

A long hot shower

And loud called sharing

Footsteps trodden at an earthy door

It begs its keep, a lover's farewell

Pleads to keep

And make it well

Eyes are closing

They see no more

Loves unending journey

Has closed the door

I am by no means a poet but sometimes the mood strikes and I have to write something down that is so weird it makes no sense to any one besides me...this is one of those things. For those who don't understand here is a run down of my nonsense

These are words about two people who are in a relationship and its just not working despite how hard they've tried to make it work. But the person speaking wants it to work, or at least she thinks she does, but the truth is they've both gotten so far from where they were that don't even know one another anymore. So they do the best thing they can, they say good bye and move on. 

Make sense?
