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...
