LAST GASP

Side by side, we sit alone,
Determined to ignore
The musty carcass of Our Love
Between us on the floor.

I fill my mind with blissful times
When Our Love first arrived -
No hour we spent seemed long enough
Or platitude contrived;

But soon the person you concealed
Burst forth forevermore,
And now Our Love lies cold and dead
Between us on the floor.

You stabbed it with your lying tongue
And strangled it with strife,
Your nagging drove it to its knees,
Your cheating took its life;

And though I tried to justify
The one whom I adore,
I can no longer bear the stench
Between us on the floor.

The day has come to face your crimes,
Of this, I have no doubt -
With few regrets, I'll turn you in...
Or rather, turn you out;

And I'll move on to other loves -
Much wiser than before...
When nothing of Our Love remains
Between us on the floor.
