Losing Her

the flowers and chocolate romance
heated by unbridled lust
and wicked passion
the start of both your engines

“the honeymoon phase”
a mix of tender intimacy
and out-of-control longing
countless, unending hours of communication

but then, the day-to-day takes its toll
overtime at work and at home
nudges each over the jagged edge of stress
undernourished nurture strains the bonds once so strong

eventually, the peak is reached
and after a certain time
the relationship solidly diminishes
there is no return to paradise anymore

what came so easily before
now, only a faint trace of the allure remains
occasionally, it’s sparked again
but mostly, there’s indifference

it’s tiresome to be so out of sync
and frustrating to feel extinguished
now, only capable of loathing
enduring yet another day of disassociation

until one day when the sadness, too hard to bear anymore, makes her turn and walk away
