The Opposite of Love

At what point did love 

Become obligation?

Was it when 

The romance with life 

Ended?

When the day-to-day 

Drudgery

Arrested your 

Imagination?

Growing ever more 

Resentful,

Unable to remember,

How you arrived

Here?

Your dreams

Having long since 

Fallen away,

Now ensnared

By convention or habit?

Perhaps, 
It no longer matters.
