A Union That Couldn't Fly

Our fates,

they race around the clock

tick-tock.

Star crossed from the first sight

the first night...

we touched,

Like fire in the wind

creating a path,

forcing a dream

that won't ever last.

Destruction.

Flicker and die out

Isn't that what we are about?

A brief moment

in the life

of a girl and a boy

a husband, a wife,

doomed from the start,

opposite side of the tracks

the turn of his back

the fade of her laugh.

Clear is our end

a broken wing

that couldn't mend,

a union that couldn't fly

so lay to rest  and let die.

From the start,

it fell apart

but you can't see,

what is hidden in the dark...

FATE
