Complacency and Love

The summers’ sun has come and gone

And left behind it rain

Cold winds beckon early snow

And icicles in the main.

*

My heart has frozen cold and white

Since you walked from my life

And took the sunshine from my soul

When I lost my beautiful wife.

*

From soul mates joined together

Forever till death do us part

Until you walked out our door

And pulled apart my heart.

*

Our bond had been forged as children

Then grew together organically

We parted the same way when you met someone else

And took your love away from me.

*

The warmth of your loving arms around me

Your beauty and your smile

Joined together in our bed

playful and tactile.

*

I thought this would be our forever

And for that, I am to blame

Becoming complacent with your love

My everlasting shame.

*

And so I wait out the winter chill

Until summer comes again

And I find another love

To wash away my pain.
