Marital Decline

Marital decline

          Dreams of love have had their day
          or so it seems of late,
          all the times once joined and shared
          are turning into hate.

          Words no longer fill the void
          as earth and moon collide,
          like cancer creeping through your soul
          that festers deep inside.

          Pain now fills each waking day
          and does not wane at night,
          yet still you try to keep alive
          a past now out of sight.
