The love is gone

Why are we still
running

in circles here?

The feelings that
were once true

has disappeared

Empty halls and
shallow walls of a house that was a home

Is now filled with
cold air

No one’s feelings
we have to spare

Our hearts are
cold as winter

Leaving us to pick
out the splinters

One thing we can
agree on is to go our separate ways

And that we will
both be in a better place

I despise running in circles

let me run in squares

the stops and starts of a broken love affair

I thought we turned a corner but I stood alone as you
weren’t there

I used to love winter but the cold this year has been
brutally bitter as our love began to wither

Now I cling to thoughts of spring

and hopeful of what a change in seasons will bring.
