Never the card played,
Or a hand of letting go.
A decision no one made,
something we did not yet know.
Life’s cruel trick,
Joining two for a time,
sadly fated and karmic.
without a reason or rhyme,
then to break it apart,
their mistakes forced to remain,
denying a chance to restart.
centered solely on grief and pain.
an end set in stone,
no revision it would permit
leaving what was in love all alone,
inevitable to quit
