Split

by Thomas   Sep 25, 2012


One became two
Recently united now split again
No longer the illusion of romantic love
like way back when

Flowers were still wild
and not captured in a bucket
When life was simple
and space untouched by rockets

To find blame
is not that simple
Chaos under water
is only seen by ripples

So when fire meets water
it creates thick, humid steam
To see through the smoke
requires vision that is supreme

We just didn't work out.
I'm not even mad.
It wasn't you. Not a single word
out of my mouth will be bad

My love for you
is not gone, it's just different
Instead of being your lover
I will now just be your friend

    There are so much charm and sadness here, building up again and again. Like in real life one becomes two once more, a basic part of life when love stops or disagree in life.
    sadly a lot of us forget to reflct on this in daily life, a good poem once again

    Super sweet I love the imagery and the sincerity that this poem process. I like that you admit that your love hasn't wither. I think it's really hard to be someone friend that was once a lover but It can work if there's two people who are capable of drawing a line and not cross over when its convenient for their needs. Excellent write
