I hide, I seek
The mark on her cheek
Her kiss, her glare
The light she bares
Her style her flare
The ominous affair
Some glimpse of her
Are rare and few
High defensive walls
That she just drew
Solitude implored
At her own accord
With no time to waste
Always in haste
Never thought it through
Restlessness just grew
Ambiguous words commute
From an impulsive brute
Indifference received
Her reasons perceived
Resentment tiptoe
Pride, the eternal foe
Of the bourgeoisie
Pursuit of earthly acquired, self-consciously
Caveat to flee, resolute
Fear of alienation, absolute
Hopes of past, relinquish
Passion and fervor, extinguish
Future be held, disassociation
Rise and fall, our creation
But how to let go
Of our dream chateau
Memories that unite
Nostalgia it might
In years together we grew
Now an incomplete me, and an incomplete you.
