Us
By JustAnEarlyBird
It was glorious,
When it started,
Before, one day,
It wasn't.
When did the beginning
Shift to the End?
In the blink of an eye
A moment of distraction
The middle was there and gone
Before either of us
Even knew
It was glorious
When it started
But what we never said
Was how equally glorious
The end was
How it began with passion
And ended just as passionately
In the other direction
How it was like
The pull and the push
of two magnets
With no middle ground
At all
And it was loud and boisorous And blinding
And it was heated and invoking and raw
And it was electric- SO Electric!
And it was all our own
And Oh, was it glorious!
Through the passion
Of our youthful romance
It was done
Our flame had melted the glue
Of our one,
And we became two...
I was (gloriously) done
With you.
Author's Note:
I was listening to a talk, "The Power of Poetry, with Helena Bonham Carter, and Jason Isaacs", and one of the speakers mentioned how we always talk about breakups like the entire relationship was terrible, when in fact, it usually starts off as glorious.Comments on "Us"
