Set In Stone

He is a mystery,
he’s not what he wants to be.
He comes on, with his charm,
just in case.

She tries to slow him down,
to show him some solid ground.
Takes his hand, as he talks
she listens.

Set in stone,
is the ending
set in stone?

He is preoccupied,
divided and taking sides.
Insecure, and unsure,
laying the blame.

She’s seen his kind before,
they’ve shaken her to the core.
It is done, as she runs 
over the edge.

Set in stone,
Is the ending
Set in stone?

He writes his poetry,
escaping reality,
As she heals, he feels
they are broken.

All alone,
she left him
all alone.

Set in stone,
she left him
set in stone.

All alone,
is the ending
set in stone?
