Requiem For A Marriage...

When do you walk away?
How do you let go?
Why do you still hold on
to a love grown cold?
When is it time to say goodbye?
Why hold back tears we
are meant to cry?
Memories that once brought joy
become bittersweet
No smile at the thought
of pleasures past
A wistful sigh so deep
betrays a love
that could not last
The touch that once
brought a thrill
Ceases to bring silent wonder
Excitement gone
from the voice
that once showed so much hunger
for the presence
of the other...

The love died...
hearts sighed...
and souls cried...
