and then one day
and then one day, a disaster came
after all the swearing, after repeating it
over and over through the years
the love story ended with only
one day remaining till Christmas.
They had lasted for months, and
that was with counseling. Their
distance just grew upon it self
but it had always been in fear
fear of being called a quitter
fear of loosing someone special
fear of following a broken families path
that fear held till now, and
tomorrow it will hold again
but from this day on, this marriage
runs on a timer. Therefore
my fears will have a date
on which they may finally
be put to rest.
