They are strangers now, separated by their worlds and walls.
There is no chemistry, no spark, nothing special.
They are simply strangers, sharing a couch.
One is autumn, one is spring;
one likes talking, and the other? Listening.
If walls could talk, they’d weave a tale so tragic.
In the beginning, he was sun, and she was moon.
At the ending, she was running, but he was leaving.
In the beginning, there are many things.
There is music, and laughter, and broken strings.
They have cooperation, and commitment, and promises.
Her mom gives them glasses, his mom gives them dishes.
She has her charcoals, he has his guitar.
At the ending, close to the ending-
There is his guitar, her laughter, they’ve broken things.
And that is all that is left.
Promises and glasses, dishes and hearts.
A year of trying and losing is written on the walls;
the wallpaper- peeling, the curtains- ripping.
He clears his throat, she stills- hoping.
“I’m sorry,” she hears, and it’s okay.
“I’m sorry,” she hears, “that it’s ended this way.”
I’m sorry, she hears. I’m sorry, that it’s ended this way.
I’m sorry, she hears. That it’s ended this way.
“It’s ended this way?”
“I’m ending it this way.”
