Break-Up
The light in my life has slowly sputtered out
What began as a flinty spark of infatuation,
Flounders in ever-growing feelings of doubt.
First I thought about nothing but the sensations
The warming qualities of your tender embrace,
But now I find myself dreading seeing your face.
Whatever happened from then until now, I fear,
Is the sudden dying of passion born in my lust
Along with the feeling of companionship, dear,
So, with deep regret, I leave you, I simply must.
You see, I have become a hollowed shell inside,
Devoid of those special feelings we once knew
No more longing to make you my life-long bride,
No desire to walk through life with you by my side.
