Months of coldness have taken their toll,
not from the weather, but time that I stole
I stood in the kitchen, shivering from loss,
physically, you were warm, but your touch was frost
The passion you had- gone like a last breath,
leaving me mourning as if it were a death
Shared moments aren't how they used to be,
a pillow in our bed now parts you from me
It isn't the first sign that we've come to an end,
the house echoes your indifference, but I pretend
Faking smiles as you scroll through your phone,
I learned the hard way that your love was on loan
We've drifted apart, like two boats in a sea,
sailing on calm waters, but not quite free
Our paths are diverging with a slow sunder
if we don't act, then our ships will go under
An ache in my heart tells me to move on,
but fear of loneliness plays like a sad song
I cling to the hope that things will change,
but each day that passes, we grow more estranged
Keeping you hurts me, but I couldn't let go,
If loving you kills me, then make it a smooth blow

Damn...like my friend below said - heartbreaking but so beautifully penned, Brin. I could feel all the emotions in every single line. That last section closed it off perfectly and I would say it does meet the prompt! :) Well done, Brin!
Heartbreaking, but beautifully written.
physically, you were warm, but your touch was frost If loving you kills me, then make it a smooth blow I loved these two lines so much! Your poem was relatable and so emotional! Freaking phenomenal!
Just please tell me this is not autobiographical, for I would not have that your heart be broken so. This weight of what happens far too often, so poignantly & painfully expressed, would that it could be rendered only into the realms of fiction & none should ever suffer it again.
Brilliantly written!!! Heartbreaking and smooth ending!!!❤️❤️💕
