Sufficient

When action fails to fulfill you

I still gave effort to our pledge

Sacrifices both substantial and subjective

Miles walked daily to no avail

Consumption of kindness vast and jaundiced

Diet not keeping in sharred symmetry

Endless demands stacked upon incomplete commissions

Contact regular pattern from your tasked income

No comment upon for which to wait

Dinner cold or unfinished at home

Tip spent on recklessly abandoned loot

Lest I were late one mere cycle of seconds' hand

Barage of displeasure breaks civil bone

No time to ask of my forgiveness today

Infidelity stain still wet when repeated

Time not right for words taken to action

Villain still me in blackened eyes

No tears fall for promise to one

Appology unwarranted on note from sincerity

Words so empty substance as to deny themselves

Fleeing to reside upon the dimes of others

Leaking coffers of daily toil of the masses

Denial of wrongdoing behind mask of shame

Worn with pride and oblivious contemplation

Days now with empathy born of guilt

Only tether shared soul in procreate

Your intrusion tolerated until young is grown

Adulthood a ticking clock to expiration

Existence in mine eyes forever tied

To words unspoken by heart unbroken

Adore your writing simply elegant and neatly crafted

Thank you - I let as much flow as I can short of actually bleeding onto a page. A few things I still hold in but I'm getting to the point of letting more of it out each day.

Every line evokes so much detail and feeling and it all ties together the general feeling of love gone cold. i love it. :)`
