No Spark

Static

By Julie LacksonenPublished 3 months ago • Updated 3 months ago • 1 min read

.....................Static

............Stagnant

Stuck

Unmoved

............Uncaring

....................Unflappable

Unfeeling, frigid, frozen.

No crackle of excitement

No jolt of arousal.

All is nothing

Nothing is all

we have left.

Beyond hope?

Is spark a thing of the past?

Is boredom the only future?

Is failure the only option?

From SIZZLING and SCINTILLATING

to

t

and l i f e l e s s.

We once shared

every dream,

every desire,

every emotion.

We once shared

every heartache,

every heartbeat

every heartfelt

word, touch, kiss.

We were both present,

Alive, active, affectionate.

Now...

Negligence, neutrality, nothingness...

Feeling

............Frigid

....................Frozen

....................Static

............Stagnant
