Serial Monogamy

If you’re a serial
Monogamist, it’s easy
To let one relationship
Segue into the next;
The old love fades out
Quietly, and the new
One fades in gently
Without anyone really
Knowing. One has a
Slight increase in touch,
The other slight absences
Of the tactile. Tracks shift
A little, the key changes
Subtly, and the new tune
Raises its volume after
The discreet and required
Pause in beats.
