Mistakes were made
nights were spent between sheets
twisting and gnawing at fingernails.

We cried our tears
and laughed out loud
till echos left cracks in the bedroom walls.

What can I say?
We had our fun
basked in the sunlight of this doomed bond
between two.

It is now the eve of our departure
emptiness is left to greet us and leaving us
is the knowledge of what we might have been.

Oh well, can you blame us
for ever trying
to be something we never could.
