Love, per se

A soulless you and a lifeless me,

Sharing a bed, maybe cups of tea.


Cold sheets freeze with subliminal passivity

Isn’t it an example of our objectivity?


A flaccid romance,

Ignores every intimate chance


An impelled hello,

Isn’t our love but, quid pro quo?


A blistering accusation

But, to indifference, there is no salvation


A happy visage,

Is but a mere mirage


Cold dinners and unopened bottles of wine,

Pinching silences and yearnings of my heart’s confine.


A soulless me and lifeless you,

Sharing a kinship, we hope wasn’t true.

I get the sharing of bed part but what I don't get it is the soulless him and the lifeless you can share "cups" of tea? I mean when you have more than one cup, you have your cup of tea and let him have his cup!

By the way "soulless you and lifeless me" sounds pretty cool and poetic. I might not say the same for "subliminal passivity" - 'sounds' too non-romantic and trying to make it rhyme with objectivity totally kills the ambiance set by the first line which I repeat is beautiful (assuming that you meant cup and not cups).

Overall - good stuff. Yayy!
