Residue of a Marriage (Free verse) by Nepanthe
What am I,
when I can no longer make my lover shine?
What can I do,
when apathy brings us to ruin?
How will I not to bitterness,
when passivity does not arrest,
the emptiness I do detest,
within his restful form?
Doubt, what a sickness-
Thus applied to the heart!
Age me quickly time,
a test, to take it all apart!
And my love for you,
a treasured knick knack,
on the shelf collecting dust,
a residue of your experimental lust.
Oh! If you regret me... if, you regret me, then do forget me.
If not, then, what am I to you? When you can't muster an " I love you
too".
What can I do?
