Defunct Marriage

Nothing left but silence

In a cemetery of words

Frozen emotions stacked

Side by side with senseless fights

Inside the walk-in freezer

Of a defunct marriage

 

Broken promises in the corner

Near unfulfilled expectations

And piles of white lies

Carelessly discarded

In the basement of

Years of togetherness

 

Remnants of passion

Thought of as love

Litter the backyard

Competing with dying

Memories of sex

Never to bloom again

 

Two bodies, two souls

Held together only

By convenience

And a written contract

Sharing nothing but

Space and time
