We move together.
We flow, we sway
We lean, we bend
And then something begins
To give way.
Only so much
And only so little
Can 2 souls take
Before they bend too much
Before they break too much.
Piece by piece
Song by song
Fragmented over time
They fall apart
And no longer move
Like the dance they once
Knew so well.
Once they could
Bend with the wind
Once they could
Recover so they wouldn’t
Snap and break.
But somewhere along the way
Something began to dissipate
And that beautiful unity dance
Became undone.
The music has stopped
The dance is paused
Broken feet can’t move
Broken hearts can’t sing
Without love,
They fall apart.
With more lies
With more hurt
Added a little more each day
The cost becomes too much.
And slowly they both bend
Sadly they both break
And their beautiful song
No longer plays.
