Tether is broken

Hearts out in the world alone

Love breaks away now

We were much better

Then his deception arrived

Love’s not so honest

I thought us better

Though humans, not gods, are we

Stupid and simple

No one loves pain

Yet all of us create it

Decency is lost

Twenty three years now

Yet we know each other less

Sad how the years pass

Enjoy, love grows they say

But resentment rests here now

We are the broken

Aimlessly, adrift

My heart’s arrow now broken

Love, life’s deep gut punch
