couples.

apart
long day's
compilation of worries
leave
a couple nothing to say
ignorant inquisitions
into each other's day
insulting
foreboding tomorrow's
repeat

mandatory meals
current affairs t.v.
moments stack
obligatory- seal the deal
sleeping back to
back
silence is sex in lack

crisis at quarter life
disbelief at forewarned
strife
lovers; young
never supposed
cling to wedding-gift sheets
at night

do or die the
heart
must be one or other
but which is the path
less barbed
scars are souvenirs
but who wants to
remember
the marks of past love

leaving;
either way's
inevitably to the other
saying
what mistake do we
finally recognise
surely
this dream started a fire
forever
intentions no longer
flames
but how
to've been preemptive
about ambition descending
when hope's
the kindling
of plans

oxygen starved
reduced from unity
smoking
whittled, charcoaled

humans
