What We Had
.
A moment in time.
is all it takes to create
a closure
to something that lasted
for so very long.
One moment arrives
to abdicate, fold
away in practised phrases
of chosen style,
a lifetime\'s duo, smeared
with abrasive
short quick goodbyes.
Why is it not seen
that a much treasured affair
can slowly change,
become cracked, out-worn,
a broken has-been
in which two unhappy souls
are now ready for war.
For one more moment,
show me again, dear love
of my heart
what we had before
