Did you notice when it finally quit?
Even just a little bit?
You must have felt a chill?
Slightly ill?
Maybe you were lighter around the shoulders
Springier of step?
Relief perhaps?
When my love for you finally lapsed.
I know I felt lighter but no chill for me.
The heat I emitted was finally free.
To light my soul and eyes again
To stop its searching for an uninhabitable den.
Those months of wasted yearning
Those endless nights of fuel-less burning
Are over now. I will disarm
My love for you
Will no longer keep you warm.
