Emotions Run Cold

Emotions run cold.

No more over exasperated affection,

this undeniable need to become closer

has long since faded and amity is no longer an issue.

My heart is tired,

my mind is well over thought; 

enabling the demand to love and be loved 

has weakened, paled and diminished
.
This agonizing emotion has run its course.

Breaking away and taking all that doesn’t belong to it.

I'm struggling to hold on to these waves

of disappointment and regret;

sometimes the resentment is too much to bear.

But I know within a stretch of time

these waves that cause me so much misery

will weaken, pale and diminish;

whatever scars left behind will fade into everything else we’ve had

 and I……. will be ok.
