For The Best

When we met, we were like two peas in a pod 
I always thought that love at first sight was odd 
Our days of love and laughter slowly faded 
In the end we both felt degraded 
Many times, we would argue over pure nonsense 
It seems we were both a little bit dense 
When our children asked for us both to try 
All the both of us could do was cry 
It was at the point of an unfixable relationship 
Time had come; we had to both get a grip 
A grip on reality, a grip on our lives 
We were just two (together) dull knives 
So, the time had come to do what was best 
It was time to put "us two" to rest 
We gave each other a hug, and we went our separate ways 
Now honestly, me, her, and our children- have better days
