The Heart Keeps The Score

Summary:

There are always signs before the end.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

My heart keeps the score, it tallies
all the times she flirts and dallies

with him, who I shouldn't worry about
it is a mystery, what she sees in that lout

and I know she's lying
that she is true, and it leaves me blue, from trying

to keep her attention, as if she's a child
and the tantrums she throws, are simply wild

as if she can do no wrong
and I'm weary of being strong

This can't be love, because there's always a fight
She's always right, so I may as well dim the light

and I have no doubt
that he'll move in, once I move out.

Notes:

I guess I got used to writing poems everyday, because here I am starting another daily poem challenge XD

I'm not going to attempt the iambic pentameter one as yet, as I am getting pretty fond of couplets.

I hope you enjoy this series!
