when he first met her
it was glorious

she was hot, fun, enchanting

but three months in
he got used to her looks
she wasn’t as hot

she wasn’t fun anymore
and her enchantment
had lost its allure

and he felt she was
eating away his life
like a cancer

interfering with
his solitary pleasures
making demands on him
nagging him

but unknown to him
she was tired of him too

and felt the same way
about him

Bob Boyd
