Member-only story
A pair of souls, transformed
by the constant march of time,
Friends, then lovers
as close as two could be,
Rocked by betrayal’s acidic sting
Driven to seek revenge
Into two bitter enemies,
The venomous hatred, stronger
than the love ever was.
Then, exhausted and spent
a thawing, a chill
Into cold, indifferent strangers
as if we’d shared nothing at all.
But now, I remember you fondly
as I release you to the wind
both for the time we shared
and the lessons learned
for without the time
I spent with you
I would not have become
my best me.
