separation

And the two that became one so long ago must become
two again,

It’s the best for us,
We are tired of us.

The separation is hard and tense, to the two
But to the casual observer its easy.

When they talk about the future they talk not realizing they
Use words like;
We, us, our,…
We looked at a house the other day
1500sqft is fine for us--I mean we,-- I mean me…
...
So many years living as the collective.
And now the two that became one so long ago must become two again.


One wants to start new, remove everything painful
The other wants to keep the past because it might be needed in the future.

The observer sees the things as things, meaningless,
To the two, the things are one more disagreement, one more tension soon to be ended.
The future is both bright and bleak,
But the present is truly, truly unbearable.
