Love Scattered

The painting on the wall has faded just like your love for me, I see it, your eyes tell it so vividly… The glint is gone, They don’t light up, When I enter the room anymore These days I don’t even get a second glance… It is like I am part of the furniture, The novelty has worn off… Whatever happened to me being your world? I never thought this would be our end game, I still love you but your love for me has faded. Slowly but surely, we are no more, Our love no longer a priority... I am tired of being in a relationship with myself, The one who does the talking, The one who reach out first, You no longer yearn to touch me… Feeling like a byproduct Of a once beautiful union Now jaded, no longer needed…

This is beautifully written, sounds a lot like what I went through very recently. It's a painful thing... You convey it really well. Good work :)

i remember that look comming from april when i came into the room. but thats not why i loved this poem. it's because you were brave enough to tell me how you feel. i pretend for just a little while that your mine. and the next time i see you what a surprise will be on my face. as i come and meet you when you walk in the door.
