We rarely share that feeling now

When we were close, and life was full

You used to sing our favourite song

And giggled at my singalong

You’re flat, you said

You’ll rise, in bed

Deep sighs hot kisses, tender touch

So much moistened give and take,

The laughs, the smiles, the cuddles too

We swore would never end

Yet cruel crowbar years have levered us,

Adrift like planets lost in space

All we share now is cold despair

I know it, you feel it

Surely, we can discard all blame

And somehow, somewhere

Seek the way we were

And together, find a love mislaid
