A Shared Demise

A SHARED DEMISE! ©

Coupled ‘lifers’ love is spent when terminated time sets in
This lovers state of affairs does ‘mirror’ a set rule of the ages
Outstanding duos do ‘voice’ as real friends sharing a mind in tune
Their clocked-time reverses knowing a finale means only one
It choruses from their minds and lips between two set songs 
 Shared prayers of wishes, hopes, and one last requests for mated-sake 
Coupled for that one eventual and ‘significant’ closure, for whom ‘the death tolls’ 
A significant demise for the remaining one will be from broken-hardheartedness 
Nature’s culling moments bare no ‘witnessing’ to its’ taking lovers ‘two by two’.

This is food for thought. I have been with my wife for 22 years and it is hard to imagine that one day I may be on my own. It feels like we have forever and a day.
