Just Like That

JUST LIKE THAT Amidst mixed expectations; came the unexpected It all happened too sudden as was never expected Out rightly, everything started to moved in the wrong direction All that functioned stopped to function; the un-functioned started to function Everything out of everything; it was too much for a surprise Failure gnashed its ugly teeth at them; they became failures. High on hope as the preacher made believe To keep waiting as the adviser convinced Time after time; our wall clock turned into television Eyes fixed at every moving second; still waiting on hope Just at the last hour when our eyes seemed to have shifted from the clock Success happily smiled at us; we became successful. Look! We need to talk I guess I will start by saying that I’m sorry I never planned for this to happen; though seems still a plan I thought I was in control of everything; so I thought As it appeared we have lost control of the most important thing between us We went on our separate ways; to look for something else to control With love gone; we chewed silently on our broken hearts. Just like that...
