And in the end,
The sun went down.
We never walked off hand in hand in hand,
We never moved.
Sitting with out legs glowing in the fading light.
Hearts never quickened,
They remained steady and reliable.
We, all of us, remained
Just as we always were.
Elbows digging into the arms of our chairs.
Words fall heavy at our feet,
Laughter dances into the sky.
Our breaths steady and reliable.
We tore the elephant apart
And ate it whole.
We didn’t need company, didn’t want it.
And in the end
I didn’t have to love her.
