2 Movies
And as the 2 of them
Stood world's apart fencing out 1 another
Neither noticed it had begun to rain
Because both had so much invested
In what the outcome of the challenge would be
And as he paused to take breath
Ponder his response
He noticed a solitary tear drop
Well up in the corner of her eye
Which can only be described
As like a pristine washing up bubble
With the colors of a rainbow imploding inside
And as the obvious answer
Passed his mind bye
He became acutely aware
Of the fact his clothes were now wet
And day had turned to night
And as she was about to walk away from him for good
And there was nothing he could say
Nor nothing he could do
Because he had already done it much!
He, For the first time since they got together
Was now staring down into the power shift
With the shoe firmly planted on the other foot
And in that singular moment his world stopped as he finally realized
She had already gone!
