Reasons

The lack of heat from your touch

The lack of love from your breath

The lack of energy from your heart

The abundance of humiliation

The abundance of disappointments

The abundance of low expectations

The way the light fades from your eyes

The way your holding hand feels ajar

The way you love others, other than me

How I’ve never felt so hated, from once being sacred

How I’ve changed my idea of the look of love

How I’ve not said anything because I’m scared

These are the reasons, these are the signs

This is how I know

That you don’t love me anymore.
