Love For Nothing

Two peas in a pod once we were, you and me.
Two souls connected as one.
Time brought us together, bound by ill fate.
Like a rainbow over the rising sun.
Together, forever, we would make it all work.
Doubts without to be wrestling.
Tightly woven, weathering against all the odds.
Like those two turtledoves a’nesting.
Living for you with you living for me, unconditionally.
Understanding all that’s unspoken.
Throttled and revved, hearts beat with the same pulse.
United as one, love’s only token.
Takes but a lone, single match, to set it aflame.
Like the breeze spreading a single spark.
It all burns to the ground, shattering that bond.
All is forgotten, with his last remark.
