Waning love

How can you succeed at love you subconsciously sabotage?
Words fall on deaf ears, disappearing like a mirage.

It’s easy to give up on something when it’s hard, mentally anyway.
When it comes to completely moving on though, we hang on like a stowaway.

It’s daunting and real but what are you achieving when you phone it in?
It drags out longer than a vowel, like speaking to someone from Wisconsin.

Can you remember why you fell in love, and started your journey together?
When you ingested those butterflies when you wanted it to last forever.

So what changed, was it life or simply you?
To untie the knot you tied when you said “I do”.
