After A Year By Aimee Nicole

After A Year
 
We’ve dated through all 4 seasons now.
The honeymoon phased into whatever comes after.
Lying still as I’m in the morgue next to you,
shrouded in moonlight, I wonder if you are bored.
If the tiara I’ve been wearing all this time
tinged cloudy and murky over a fortnight.
How quickly passion can drip from our fingertips,
leaving us bewildered at its temporary and fickle heart.
I want to whisper in your ear that you were born to be mine
and I’ve been building myself into the witch of
your dreams for many days and many nights.
