Fickle
two people who decided
they could live together
tried &
did so for a bit of time
cohabitating in the same dwelling &
steering free of each other
when it became exhaustive to
do the
opposite &
all was exactly what they say that it is
when two people give up their individual space &
their individual lives to
share one another,
but then the little things
which once seemed to be valued
one by
one,
as so very beautiful &
special,
unique to the both of them---now
these same things begin to eat at them
so much so that now the debate has begun
over who is right & who is wrong
concerning the most miniscule details of every
irrelevant subject
under the sun &
the ones still suffering around them,
friends & family,
tell them that everyone has gone through their hard patches &
that what proves a relationship is strong, is the ability to
stick it through---
but these fickle fights add up &
the two of them begin to literally hate the sight of each other,
doing their best to avoid even being present in the same abode at the same time &
then finally,
as if it had been overlooked for such a long time,
they decide to leave each other,
to physically get as far as they can from each other &
dismantle the dwelling they once both called
home,
now dividing each little piece of shared property
fickly
fickly & then
so very
free.
