Talking in bed is far too hard.
Your back to me, thoughts disguised,
no words uttered. I�m left marred,

your snore my goodnight kiss.
Love is shattered, a mere shard
remains in this midnight abyss.

Winter�s slowly passing, but inside
the routine never neglects to dismiss
the frigidity in this lonely bride.

Words left unsaid in this harsh hour
burn inside, struggle, rush to sour
once-warm love, its awing power.
