laughter filled nights
serious days
comedic acts
dramatic plays
i move out
you walk in
the ending
of our beginning
sending
conflicting vibes
let us give it one more try
hello
goodbye
witnessing the rising
of the setting sun
walking into our destiny
away from destiny we run
defining time when yesterday ends
today beginning as lovers
tomorrow wanting to be friends
can friends ever be lovers
if we pretend
to ignore the conflicting vibes
inside of us
enjoying the amusement of the park
with bemusement
casually ignoring the darkness of our hearts
living love on a roller coaster
of love so new
ending
when we are beginning
yet not through
our aurora borealis
actually a will o the wisp
once celestial brightness
now a blighted light flickering
in the ghostly mist
tear stained pillows
once saturated with the salty sweat
of our shared passion
now we ration
emotion
downsize
devotion
speaking of getting away
yet giving into the notion
of living separate but equal lives
husband and wife in name only
sleeping together
yet forever lonely
two distant islands joined only
by our tears forming a bitter stream
what does it all mean
i say love is sweet
you say it is rather sour
both powerless
yet in need of power
a king and a queen
of separate countries
with no discernable populations
truth becoming insinuations
facts forming into factless abominations
until a once beautiful situation
now permanently resides
within the conflicting vibes
inside of us
as you and i wave a fond farwell
to trust
