Love Poem: Splitting Up

Splitting Up

I think I better leave right now
Before I say something stupid
Like only a boy in love would

And if this is our parting shot
Let it not be lost in sentimentality 
I am sure you agree
We can drop the formalities 

We know each other far to well
To pretend 
We do not know each other's foibles 
And pressure point's 

Otherwise we could overcome 
This impasse we fall before
All the while knowing

Sooner or later we will ramp up the rhetoric of abuse
Until 1 of us gives in 
And neither of us can remember 
Why on earth we shared a bed together 

Maybe I loved you to much
To try and patch things up
