And So It Goes

Easy to say that she 
just walked away
His pride after all
he must always stand tall 

No matter the cost
just her love he has lost
He could never compete
with her lifestyle elite 

As she feared from the start
he would just break her heart 

He became jealous and sad
over things that she had
She tried to include him
Her love passed right through him

His words lost all meaning
and hers she was screening

Two different worlds colliding as one
All ragged and jagged until there was none

The saddest part at this journeys end
Is losing your love and in turn my best friend...

Indeed, it's sad when you lose not only your lover, but one who is also your best friend. I guess that's what happens when worlds "collide" instead of merge. Very sad but beautifully written poem, Sharon. Love, Carolyn
