We sat together
all 3 of us
but the only 2 of us
could feel the cold breeze
only we could feel the brutality of that
moment
3 of us
we sat there
you and I
Just the 2 of us,
paying no mind to number 3
Who crowded us
blessed we were that she was there
else we would have become history
to the land that kept us
silently
we argued
painful gazes
apologies unwelcome
as we sat there
unable to construct even a sentence
yet we couldn't leave the space
that led to our destruction
couldn't lose each other to such silence
all 3 of us
we sat
just the 2 of us
entertaining loneliness
yet you sat next to me
I sat next to you
coldest moment of our lives
never have quarrels become so threatening
never have words become so permanent
on the edge of letting go we stood
holding on by the thread
that was our love
actions proved love inadequate
intentions too late to be questioned
the 3 of us
sat in silence
louder than words
you crying
me pleading
for a 3rd second chance
to do love you
to care for you
to make you proud
to make you mine
the 3 of us it was
lost for words you were
nothing left to believe in
the words from my mouth found no home in you
and you left the room
leaving the 2 of us
in question
