Resentment
RESENTMENT
Love once shared, now a forgotten past
Time spent together no longer cherished
Slowly, we began drifting apart
Each person withdrawing into a shell we thought was gone
Gradually, hatred began setting in
Communication seemed a Herculean task to perform
Promises we’re broken
Trust became a thing of the past
No longer could the fire be seen
The binding knot broken
Affection grew more for material things
And less for each other
Acrimony seemed a strange word
But here it was, so close to home
A laughingstock we had become
The gap had widened beyond refilling
Our love has finally become a myth
Unworthy to even be called a legend
The building we hoped to erect
Came crumbling half way!
