Is the thing that pulls us in all directions
Until it doesn't.
It prepares, waiting, lurking,
And we know it is there in the murky
Waters, but we plunge in anyway.
What else was there to do? Was there some other path to take?
Is it within our rights to break
This old law?
The legality was as logical as an unbalanced balance
Where it hung it the air, poised, breaths held,
Until, inevitably, inexorably, it fell.
With a clang and yell,
The tension snapped
And worlds collided, those unmapped
Places were no one has ventured before
Smashed down each other's locked front door
Causing
Silence,
The kind that seeps in the
Sewers of the streets in strains of
Slimy sludge.
Silence,
The type that echoes
After the gavel is slammed down by the
Unjust judge.
As reverberations
Cause palpitations
Of an injured heart.
And after this silence dispersed,
After the tension melted from the earth,
We parted ways; the very first
One I loved now had no worth.
I waved goodbye to your untense hearse.
