point of no return

 

i look at you 

you look away 

i smile 

you fake it in style 

i begin 

passions get ignited 

you shut down 

your face all blighted

i speak and express 

you turn deaf 

feel my presence less 

everything muted 

silence diluted 

stillness prevails 

in hush tones 

stifled a bit 

while the thoughts knit 

another sheet 

of iced feelings 

we hug 

without any touch 

and love freezes

the bond cold 

in a stark white 

unmoved 

motionless

chilled desert 

in the cacophony 

of a lifeless silence  

perhaps

we reach a point of no return
