A LOVE THAT IS NO LONGER

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 37

I had a dream last night
that we made up
and I was distraught
as I was not really sure
even in that dream
if that was what I really want
a revelation in and of itself
to wake up to
no doubt
won't you agree
but its left me with more questions
and even fewer answers
just a fierce phrase that keeps
running around in my head
without any apparent
way out
No Real Husband To Speak Of'
do I even have it in me
I regularly question myself
the tools needed
to shatter this facade
that we have been
living under
vague memories
of how we use to feel
about each other
and should still feel today
but can't quite
make that grade of love
no matter what the
other does or does not
have to say
are we living to lie or
lying to live
confusion as of late
has become my
closest dearest friend
In my heart
I believe I lost
you long before
I really knew it
and in the subsequent
months
I've been gradually
letting you go as well
it hurts to say that
but I can't pretend
everything is okay
anymore
when everything is
chopped up
beaten
destroyed or butchered
everything I once
thought was so beautiful
with us
is pushed and pulled and
bruised until
I do not recognize it
as what it really is
which is
sadly enough
now
nothing more than
'A Love That Is No Longer'........................
