the best friends in love.
who could've guessed it?
"i did,"
said their mutual friend,
an oreo stuffed into each cheek
like an overfed squirrel.
"saw it coming a mile away."
and together they
danced
sang horribly off key
rode around town on one old bike
swam the sea's current
fought over movie picks
basked in 'i love you's
and offered themselves to each other.
but when it ended
it ended in hellfire
and red anger
oozing from the cracks in the ceiling
parted lips turn to split lips
kisses turn to biting insults
she grew louder
and he did too
till they indeed
shattered the world
around them.
she cannot sew this back together.
