modern fatalistic attitude

You woke up on the bedside of your mate every morning,
and realized that for the last few years,
you're no longer in love with them and no longer love them

The man you love has no desire for you,
and choose to fall in love with someone superior,
and he said let's break up and divorce
leaving words hanging in the air with nothing left to say
except a quiet submissiveness to allow the love to die

Your children left you to create lives of their own,
leaving no love for you, and you age, grow old,
wither and die
with a dying memory of younger days

With the one you love and loved ones,
you realized all love and happiness is a passionless one
An epiphany as slow and burning
that added to your slow agonizing death
