Lovers are leavers

Like ships that pass in the night,
so as the odds stacked against us

Adam and Eve have had the same problems,
but life has to go on for tomorrow is another day

Not every relationship an angel calls
Signs were there only we were busy surviving

There was a block, we couldn’t get through
There was work to be done,
a phase of ‘our different lives’ to be completed

Too much water had passed under the bridge
Neither of us knowing how to take it further

A unison which never stand the test of time
Everything gathered crumbling in pieces around us

Memory holds us prisoners
Sentenced to be who we could never be

To struggle, struggle and never quite get there.

Nothing more could be said,
though quite a lot might be thought.
