So how does it happen?
That moment when
You realise there\'s a stranger
Sleeping in your bed
The person who you thought you knew
Doesn\'t smile or look at you
And everything becomes an irritation
No matter how hard you try to endure
What is that moment
When everything suddenly changes
And you know that life will never be as it once was?
Or God forbid realise that nothing has actually changed at all
That all the platitudes and decrees of love
Were nothing more than better than being alone
So what happens next
When the heavy truth sinks finally in?
Give it all up and throw it all away?
Or trudge on until the only definite end?
We are nothing if not lamentable creatures
Like the pieces of broken pottery fragile in our repair
