Never Ending Result

She came to collect what she shared with me

Once, they were ours...now they're just hers

She took more than that, she took her words

It wasn't fair for me

Well, these actions were not

But her last words...

I forgot

It doesn't matter what she said 

Or how I responded 

But the moment...

Ruby red

I have no intention to pawn it

Angles & cuts of formed dimensions

Now glistening through the words we mention 

Settling in a space where Love once belonged

Filling the air with music...not songs

Complimenting each other's notes 

We see that Love is but a moat 

A trench we must face 

A barrier thats keeps safe, the castle of its grace

It is to be conquered, by only the meek

The strong will fail...the cunning will sneak

The powerful will trail...& the daring won't peak

All will know, Love is not for the weak

We found out the hard way

And we've come to our end

But before she goes away

We talk...as friends

The world is swirling around us, throwing dismay in swarms

But inside her car, there is peace & warmth

As if we've forgotten...for just a moment 

Our current state...the upcoming torment

We can't go on together, so we leave apart 

But we're reminded why there was a start
