Distant withdrawn
you separate yourself
resigned with a sigh
to go through the motions
detached, disconnected
a prisoner in a vacuum
Suffering for the sake of Jesus
you become a martyr in this death
to be remembered
perhaps one day honoured
by the thorns love has bourne
in the keeping of commitment
There has been no contact
intimate need for touch denied
Your spirit is removed
from the will now severed
Heart unwilling to love
cold flesh on flesh
is a kiss without passion
a brief utterance of words
without a word spoken
has sentenced our lives
to this silent separation
Like the Fishers
in the sea of their own making
you make your bed
in a separate room
and all things seem rational
safe and right in your reason
Resigned to reassign
your heart to a vacant place
with the nails of Christ
pinned there to remind you
Pride renders all suffering just
in this death of a marriage
