When we first started dating
I had no expectation
of forever
I was content with the
immediate
And enjoyed each
moment with her
All the mundane
chatter
And flirtatious
wordplay
Leading to the longing
looks
And the sentimental
words of love
Back then time evaporated,
Hours seeming to pass
in seconds
And in all those
moments
Precluding our life
together
The one thing we never
had was silence
But that was then and
this is now
And now the silence
deafens me
No more chatter
Words are used miserly
As if endowed with
great value
And not to be wasted
On flirtation or
sentiment
Words, when used, now
bite
With venomous spite
Moments now last an
eternity
Clocks that once
seemed to race through time
Run now in slow motion
Her contemptuous looks
wither me
Longing now for my
extinction
