Too Stubborn To Love

TOO STUBBORN TO LOVE

A cold kiss

unfamiliar touch

the butterflies escape

to return no more

 

I don’t recognize you

can’t even murmur a name

a stale hug

nothing feels the same.

 

Who you were

once upon a time (the love I loved)

exists no more. 

The love we shared

went out the door

 

You opened it

I got tired of fighting

For a love you never thought

Was worth igniting

 

So here we are

strangers again

with a worldwide gap

to stubborn to mend
