Duality

The boy told her he wanted her
Under the spring moon,
With the promise made with a soft kiss
The lovers walked to the room.
The girl thought he loved her
For forever and a day,
The promise made with a loving kiss
The soul mates paved their way.

The moon shimmered in the water that night
Lighting the night sky, dimming the stars,
The waves lapped the distant shore
Rearing their heads, submitting by the hour.
The morning came too soon for them
Each waking up to the others’ reality,
He shook her off with the sand on his shirt
She plucked him out and bled love for eternity.
