Foundational Wreckage

certainly together they saw the best in one another, certainly at that first point, they had each other’s full support, certainly in the beginning, there was no one in mind but the other & that was all “right” & “good” until that moment at which the strength of one’s skill came into question. it doesn’t matter what the skill is, doesn’t matter what was said--- what matters is that when things were blissful, it went without saying that there was encouragement, there was someone in the world who would stand by & go down with the ship if necessary, but unlike the movies, the credits did not roll---rather, wreckage began to form when honestly allowed one of the two to admit that the skill in question, had been bested by another & this burnt a scar into the very heart of the loved one, so deep that suddenly everything else came into question & the sky began to fall.
