No spring chicken
I’m no spring chicken
so I know how this’ll go
the untwining of lives
until We
are just him
and me
not Us
kitchen cuddles
gone
surprise morning sex
gone
that awareness of each other in the room
when we’re out
gone
the small things have started to matter
“it’s your turn to cook”
“I paid for dinner last time”
“why do you always wear that”
they tell the story that’s coming
plain as day
love is leaving
somehow infidelity would be cleaner
when we were young
we thought love
died like Romeo and Juliet
with vials of poison
and cruel fate
and all that
nonsense
but no
love dies
with honesty about shit
you used to
lie about

you were lying/trying to convince yourself. well put.
(however, i'm of the opinion we should all put our issues aside for the occasional morning rollick.) [:

Agreed...a lady should never let a failing relationship get in the way of the happy place :-)
Thanks J.

Mercilessly beautiful and cruel. Well done, friend.

Sometimes truth comes out a little brutal...never mean it that way really, just like the words stripped out...thank you my dear :-)

I agree, we don't like to hear the truth about how we are. Our egos can't take it. Good poem.
