Breakups

Thus we stood adjacent,
Enemies in lives to come,
With nowhere left to run.

Now was the time for fun.

We pranced,
We gandered,
We danced all about.

We struck,
We missed,
We fell into the abyss.

The darkness felt sweet.
It caressed our skin,
Slowly yet carefully taking us in.

No fuss,
No mess,
Just the calm embrace of death.

So for this life time,
And perhaps the next,
We let it lay to rest.

Thus came to end the ultimate test.

Though bonded as we were,
We yet stood,
But no longer adjacent.
