Rock, Paper, Reality

She was never his.
He was never hers

The words
scripts said on a stage of their choosing
an attempt
to experience what t hey most desired
surrender to raw vulnerability, need, and 
the award for wholeness, fulfillment, solid ground
with someone they trusted
albeit transiently.

In the moment they lived an loved
gave and accepted
and it was Brilliant. 

Until the lives they'd previously sought and nurtured
honor required response
the aether burst
the script forgotten
the dreams forsaken.
