Did you see how it started?
The look in her eye.
He is newly departed,
I think she is about to cry.
He could not stand to be with her now.
Her world is falling around her ears.
He fled to no-man’s land to shut down.
She is trying all she can to hold back the tears.
It is no one’s fault, but her burden to carry.
He couldn’t blame her for her fate.
She thought love would conquer all, why she decided to marry.
He felt life was too short, and for her he could not wait.
Time could not stretch and flex to accommodate.
Compromise was not something either could endure.
No longer friends or bed mates.
Strangers untangling histories, making their singularity secure.
