That's how it is
That's what it's become
As everything between them
Sets as a sunAnd irises once flooded with hope
Fingers slipped from grasps
As these wasted minutes
Strike the lastIt was as if a fairytale
Had taken place
But instead of a happy ending
Depression in its placeLoss of allies and alibis alike
No more fiction nor fact
Two steps forward
And three steps backThat is how this story unfolds
How these hearts in unison shatter
The choice is offered of truth or hope
Unfortunately, most choose the latter
