I Dont Want This

We were two,
And young.
You’re eyes held mine,
The softest blue.
You gave me a pledge
To last through time.
“I love you.”

A million moments
Beautiful and sad
Have passed us by.
The swift current
Has pulled us past
And we have had
Our fun, unto the last.

There was a time
This would have been easy
But I didn’t want it then.
Now I need to show you
So you can see.
But you wont open your eyes
You cant even see me.

We aren’t happy.
You want a freedom
I cant give.
You don’t want responsibility.
And I hurt you
And you hurt me.

But you would
Go to the end with this
Despite the rotting
You think this could end
In marital bliss.
You’re sadly wrong,
My old, dear friend.
