Repentance. Redemption. Rubbish!

Okay, I'm sorry for the first posting, alright? So, as penance, please find below another poem!

side by side

we slept last night
side by side
just like every other night
side by side
but somehow, these past few months
something changed
though at night we still lay in bed
side by side

we used to have between us a raging fire
that consumed us as we fulfilled its bidding
constant yet arbitrary it was
as we ravished each other side by side

last night we did indeed lay by each other
side by side
with backs facing each other
we lay in bed side by side
no words no movement no sound
no heat no passion found
just calm peaceful tranquillity
enveloping our bodies back to back

why has it become so
must we accept our fireless coexistence
can we not rekindle can we not reignite
or are we bound to our desire-less cohabitance

i'll wait and see
i’ll chance another night
perhaps tomorrow things will be different
perhaps it won’t
but i know this be true
enflamed or not
i'll still forever be by your side
laying with you
side by side

Hey, it wasn't that bad, right? Rubbish it may be, but it was straight from the heart, that was, when I wrote it...
