Think not twice

Here between us-
Sure as a slap
Softly disappointed
Sticky with compromise
Soggy with tears
Baking in frustration
Crusty with anger
Bemused by misperception
Abandoned with indifference
Wide-eyed on unslept bedsheets
Hicupping alone at the breakfast table-
Here between us
Lies our love
Shall we pick it up gently
And soothe its frantic heart
And kiss it into silence
And give it some water to drink?
Shall we let go of this mile
And rest for a while?
And think not twice before saying "I love you."
