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
