the contract

she gives you
the silent treatment.
the cold
shoulder,
the no eye contact
I'm pretending
you aren't
here stare, it's
hard to believe
you ever had
a fun moment
when she goes dark
like this.
and people wonder
why you're
cautious
about love
and marriage,
about
signing a business
contract
that says til death
do you part.
