Poetry: Finis

Complacency in relationships.

How does love turn to hate
How does curiosity turn into a debate
How does always being there for me turn to always late
How does endless fun turn to taciturn dates
How does fine china turn into paper plates
How do beautiful kisses turn into physical gates

How does going out of your way turn into complacency
How does being together turn to being without me
How does love turn into nonexistent empathy
How does love with maturity turn into love rudimentary

Sophistication gone
Manners disowned
The mask never on
To never arrive here is foreign

Destiny S. Harris
