NO one thought the vow we made

Would lead to the place we’re in.

STONE by stone we built our home,

But it was bare within.

LEFT unkept, it weakened and rotted,

Housing resentment and fear.

UNTURNED and unchecked, the chaos festered

And our path became eminently clear.

NO change of heart, nor change in mind

Could reverse the damages done

PROMISE by promise we begged and pleaded

hoping the war could be won

LEFT were the ashes, the battle scars and bruises

That burned in our flesh and our hearts

INTACT, though damaged, we went out separate ways,

Knowing we’re better apart.

Our vow had been broken, irredeemably so,

And there was just one way to react,

What once was a union was now in the past…

NO STONE LEFT UNTURNED, NO PROMISE LEFT INTACT.
