Poetry: Strangers

Strangers

Who are you?

Do I remember we?

Remind me why I am supposed to

Even remember

Wait

Something is coming back to me

Did we date?

Weren’t we supposed to be in a relationship?

Hmm, seems like a distant dream

Something made up in some off romance thing

I think love, desire and togetherness

Were part of that pipe dream

Oh wait

This is reality

That pipe dream

Shame on me for wanting to make things work even

Understood

Message received

My choice was made

The fulcrum broke on the opposite end

Even with my heart deeply invested from the start

You can’t fight another’s dead cold

heart

Back to reality

Back to life

Once soul mates

Laughing, adventurous intimates

Now strangers

Like we were nothing

At all
