Proposals : Part II

Estranged noises stifle the atmosphere
As everyone waits...
Silent
Muffled
The air thick with tension
What am I doing
I’m watching myself
My knee burning with stupidity
My brow Moist with anticipation
I had to ask
We’ve dated for too long
And somehow getting married seemed
easier
Then admitting we had failed
Our love littered with
Anger
An endless sea of women
Everyone is still waiting
I know you didn’t expect this
I had always thought
That I would implode
From the intensity of our passion
My need for you screaming through my skin
But
That was when we were younger
And you were cellulite free
And when I had hair
And was smart and skinny
But I know with time
Id learn
Id learn to tolerate you
And our Loveless days
Would roll on in quiet desperation
And it would be great
We could get a loveless dog
Or We could even crank out a
Couple of love less kids
Bliss
I’m sweating now
The voices no longer muffled
Bursts of ‘sorry mate’
Echo through the restaurant
This is it
It could change everything
You bend forward
And deliver our future in my ear
No
I’m relieved
I’m pleased
I probably should leave you the ring
Since ‘our’ flat is now mine!
