Oh come on,

let's get real.

Let's get a grip

on reality.

Ours is not

a relationship.

Ours is just

a domestic partnership.

No more than

a sleeping arrangement.

I sleep on the left side

of the bed,

you sleep on the right side.

I use the toilet downstairs,

you use the toilet upstairs.

I pay all the bills,

sometimes you take off

all your clothes.

We open a nice bottle of wine

only because its better

than drinking alone.

We go for a meal

at a nice restaurant,

only because its better

than dining alone.

We do not have a future

together.

And when you look back

not much of a past

either.

What could have been

our only connection,

laid amongst bloody clots,

in your gynaecologist's

petri dish.
