Love Poem: Day By Day

Day By Day


Waning love is a cold diamond thing
The hurt pressure 
from the thought of losing you
is such a hard burden
Squeezing the hope out of me

Heavy-hearted acceptance ain’t easy,
especially when the weeping pang of separation 
comes prematurely rushing through

Day by day,
I get premonition pulse signals of distress

Diamond bit by bit,
I receive this coal crushing feeling

And the hurt pressure 
changes the beauty of what once did exist

Your vow of discontentment is tearing us apart
Day by day
Making our bond weaker
every 24/7 ...
I do feel a new heartbreak

Your ice cold eyes tell me the love flame
is no longer lit
As your heart becomes more
Diamond bit by bit

Pointed act of your future departure
pierces my mind deeply
As this soon-to-be severed heart pleads empty

Affectionate feelings voiced are on the decline,
your dispassionate vow sound 
has a hollow golden ring
 
Echoes of neglected conciliatory healing
drowns my restless pain
in watery sheets of serrated discomfort  

That jagged sharp sound,
thrust hard through my mate severed soul, 
has a diamond sting
An asunder carat cutting my heart in half

Broken altar promise darkly coal uttered,
portends of your leaving

Those sacred two words, 
once spoken with past caring intensity,
are now double troubling ...

And “I do” know why that is,
because you no longer desire me
Keeping your two-folded arm distance
is a cold diamond thing

As love on the wane wears the bosom hard bling-bling

Day by day,
my evening pillow dreams 
get so very misty sigh moist softer

Diamond bit by bit,
my mourn awakenings 
get teary pure carbon crystalline
