Darling it took 2 years and 3 months We've reached a complacency, where love's embers faded, Your presence a ghost in our desolate charade. There are no words, through empty glances we sway around eachother but never towards. It's been a while where passion's colors grayed, In echoes of silence, my heart yearned to speak, But no more. I'm held captive by routine My soul's silent plea In this stagnant realm of marriage Longing to be free I crave the warmth of a sun that once shone bright, Yet in this dim cocoon, we faltered, lost the light. My heart, a garden left untended, Love's petals withered, desires suspended No hopes to flourish
