Forgive Me Not
Forgive me not for this poem but how I feel.
The spark between us has gone.
Where I'm not sure?
I think we will soon part.
I'd let you go yesterday if I didn't love you.
I'm fed up of your moods and conflict between us.
I'm creative but you're not.
You say all artists should live on Mars.
I want to go when I fall out of love with you.
You say I'm a bad husband cos I don't work.
I start my new job in January.
It will help money wise but I know we won't change.
How can we?
It's who we are, conflicting stars aflame.
I want to be happy.
You don't want to be sad.
I try to prepare for the day when we die.
If only love could be turned off.
But that isn't possible, is it?
So I endure what we are, what is us.
And see what happens next.
I'm not looking forward to Xmas and want this nasty year to end.
I want it all to be better.
Did I make bad choices before?
Was fate toying with our lives?
Yes it was.
Just like now.
I blame love.
I'm off on the ship now...
