Twisted Love Poems: The Cold Shoulder

I can’t really get to sleep tonight,

There’s important matters

Weighing heavily on my chest.

I sleep next to you every night.

Missing the times we shared,

When you saw me at my best.

I can’t help but feel like

I’m letting you down,

In each and every way,

Some nights we fall asleep

And you turn to your side,

Without a word to say.

I know you don’t mean

Anything by it,

But still it makes me sad.

I keep preparing myself

For the days

When you really start getting mad.

That’s when the fights will start,

And I know our relationship,

Will start coming to an end.

I really don’t know what I’ll do,

You weren’t just my lover.

You were my best friend.

So here I lay,

Counting the days

Till this dream is finally over.

Trying to memorize your face

Dreading the day you start,

To give me the cold shoulder.
