Eruption

We are
getting
ready to erupt.
Passing
each other
afraid to ask “What’s up?”
The answer
we don’t want to hear
knowing that
it will all end in tears.
We have become
strangers to each other.
Days go by
without words to utter.
How long
can this go on?
I know it’s not
a unique phenomenon
for couples
to drift apart.
I just wish that
we could go back to the start.
