a husband and wife...
once a picture of love and happiness.
happily married, they floated freely on cloud nine...
same height, same time
but that was then, this is now.
currently, they're estranged.
the state of their union has become
a lopsided scale; a seesaw
up, down, up, down, it goes.
their union, like water never seeking its own level.
one gives, and the other takes.
they've lost the art of compromise.
they no longer meet each other halfway,
and they're seldom on the same wavelength.
once a picture of steadfast stability,
but my, how things have changed!
they no longer take to the air
like two birds sprung for a cage
something's gotta give.
is their troubled union worth salvaging?
or perhaps time to call it quits?
