To Love Is Complicated

Over time my heart has become brittle
verge of breaking, feelings immutable,
once loving now your cold noncommittal 
knowing my actions were unsuitable,

your absence has left my whole world bereft 
in my life no one more formidable,
stealing my heart sure was an act of theft 
my love for you was unconditional,

my affection shown was so tenuous 
now I must hope for just an interlude 
to prove my love, become less envious 
without you I'm lost, cold, lonely, subdued,

our relationship a macabre sketch
you're no demurely woman, I'm no letch.
