Tell Me Which Do We Decide Go or Stay?

Tell me — which do we decide — go or stay?
like a wounded bird love has taken flight
a grappling ponderance every day
as our ships steer silently in the night
reasons vary and we both understand
our storybook romance now a fable
loves demise was never part of the plan
stoic is our gaze across the table
so what do we do now that love has died?
no shame or blame as to who's right or wrong
just could not make it work Lord knows we tried
with you or not...it was coined in a song

       I must say...I won't love you either way
       so tell me... do we go...or do we stay?
