End

How long can we suspend

Choosing whether to mend it

Or end it

How long do we intend to go on like this?

We’ve been in a downtrend

Since the time we became boyfriend and girlfriend

It feels…

It’s like we ascended this mountain of a relationship

But now we’ve descended to the bottom

So how long do we intend

To do anything but pretend,

That things will be amended

Maybe next weekend we’ll regret it

But we might just be better off friends…

How long can we suspend

Choosing whether to mend or end?

Both tend to bring me to tears

And send me to my place of fears.

Notes

The 12th of 12 poems about my relationship frustrations. I wanted to do another experimental piece by using a theme of words rhyming with "end" in a poem about what I thought was surely going to be our end.
