Sweethearts

Honey can't you look at me?

What color are my eyes?

Staring down at a plate is all you see

Won't even bless me with lies

Lover can't we chat?

I don't recall your voice

But graceful like a cat

Avoidance is your choice

Honey do you work?

You do, twelve hours, five days

Of course I knew that quirk

I wanted to hear what you'd say

Lover you lie next to me

Asleep and tired in bed

Our two rings won't let us be free

Until of us is dead

Sweetheart, darling, are you content?

Our routine the same each time

We pretend that we can't see it bent

Pretend that we're all fine.
