I Don’t Love You Any More
You used to say I love you
Every hour of every day
Now it’s just complaining
I don’t do it now, your way
You used to squeal with passion
And you’d chase me round the room
Now you run the other way
You’re cheating, I assume
You used to voice your praise
Of what I meant to you
Now you’re just sarcastic
And I’m left feeling blue
You used to chat with humour
Back then when we had fun
Now mostly we are miserable
It’s more like hit and run
You used to speak with honesty
Our love a two way street
Now the road is closed for good
You’re in the driver’s seat
You used to sing a song of love
It’s now a song of hate
I wonder if we’re saveable
It’s maybe just too late
You used to talk of future
You can’t see it; or you won’t
You say that I don’t love you
You’re probably right; I don’t

This write really gets to me ...
You've done a great job-I can understand the feeling of a love that's gone lost...
It's a sad thing but what are we supposed to do if we fall out of love with someone? 😐
Great write David!!
:)

falling out is just as easy as falling in, sadly

The picture I get here David is of you watching something unfold for someone else...and filling in the gaps...enjoyed the read as usual because you paint a picture and still allow the reader to interpret as they will... :)

and, as we travel through life, there
should be love stops, like bus stops,
where we can simply get off..:)

The stanzas seemed to alternate slightly in content. Some seemed to gravitate towards the emotional while others seemed more lighthearted and/or physical. I pictured two people having a conversation. Nice write.

I was attempting to keep it light hearted until the last line :-)
