We fell and fought
for the love
that made and broke
us whole
not a penny to gamble.
We tried and failed
for us to work
but time was a murderer
and lizard was the only witness
who walked away from the carnage-it can’t handle.
We hoped and fingers crossed
for our fairytale to come true
But our love was an old woman,
Blind and slow, off to pick up apples
But ends in limes and lemons, down to thorny pineapples.

The first lines of your poem are so beautifully bittersweet. “We fell and fought for the love that made and broke us whole” Grateful to have loved, but the loss…it hurts.

Be tear or smile, everything shared by two people in love—is it’s glory, Randall. Pain is inevitable if it’s truly love. Thanks for the incredible insight! God bless you.
