How do you measure our investments
In each others time and emotions
When we support one another
Even in our dreams
We render aid to one other
With more love and respect
Than husband and wife
Although we have surgically removed
Sex from the equation
Our relationship has suffered
Being turned inside out even as lovers
Having too much emotion to just
Turn off risking everything
Means bearing the punishment
Being consumed in the fires
Of our heat and passion
Mourning when we can not separate
Ourselves from it
Without self+destructing
Into senseless selfless depreciation
Falling helplessly into a black hole
Riding ourselves
Into a hell of depression
we have created
For ourselves
