One Word Says It All

His mood changes with the passing seasons,
                  Unpredictable.
His life reflects upon lack of accomplishments,
                   Dissapointment.
His loves have been very few and far between,
                   Unavoidable.
His mind set to forgetting and starting all over,
                    Replenishment.
She wonders how she ever got caught up in it,
                    Confusion.
She sleeps alone at night hoping to erase it all,
                      Praying.
She jokes that it didn't mean anything to her,
                     Retrobution.
She goes home every night to a dark empty home,
                     Crying.
He pulls out old photographs and gazes longingly,
                     Drudgery.
She takes his old clothes and packs them away,
                     Vindication.
He plays their coveted song on the radio over and over,
                      Privacy.
She calls best friends to trash the one that did her in,
                      Frustraion.
He holds in his heart their very first kiss for dear life,
                      Longingly.
She regrets the day that she ever laid eyes upon him,
                      Damnation.
He finally deals with the fact that the wonder is complete,
                      Willingly.
She begins to long for the day she can forgive him again,
                      Anticipation.
