the relationships

each relationship has been
different
but alike in so many ways.

what's missed?

depends.
conversation. sharing life.

intimacy.

coffee in the morning. tv
late at night.

the presence of love in the room,
in bed.

skin against skin. lips
against lips,

small things. a touch, a smile,
support
and trust.

the life ahead.

but there have been bad ones
too.

tears, a separation,
each
to their own side of the bed.

the cool wordless mornings.
the silence,

the fear and tension that
would fill
the day ahead.

loneliness beyond words,

the worry and anxiety of misplaced
love.
both stuck in quicksand
with no way out.
