Thus Uncurable

when a mystery is the problem, not love... How can you solve it without breaking the red tape? an actual NEW piece.

On a bed made with Medical Advances

Bodies are thrown further from eachother each day

The covers piled higher and higher,

To replace the bodies once held in warmth.

The names "Sweetie" and "darling" given to pets

Instead of lovers.

 

Oh we never saw it coming

Health begets loneliness,

And tears are shed as we each

Blame ourself,

For what is unknown

Thus Uncurable.

 

Two sets of Eyes

Glance across a dinner table at eachother

And they feel new,

Fresh with the intrigue,

of the flowered centerpiece,

To hide our fears.

 

Oh we never saw it coming

Health begets loneliness,

And tears are shed as we each

Blame ourself,

For what is unknown

Thus Uncurable.

This definitely made me stop and think. A well written poem. Thanks for sharing.

This is thought provoking. I like the way you combined the two words "each" and "other" to make one feel the togetherness of two sharing loneliness. Excellent work.
