Is it Serendipity
Or just stupidity
Searching for you
Looking for affinity
Hoping for sensitivity
Can I see this through
Hopes are raised
Personalities praised
Skipping a heartbeat
Eyes are glazed
Not amazed
Once more repeat
A merry-go-round
In an adult playground
Is there a better way
You just want to mess around
Another king uncrowned
Try again another day
Christine Bolton
Affinity
We are drifting apart
No words have been spoken
We no longer seem to have an affinity
The string on our yo-yo is broken
Like running against the wind
Or going in different directions
Our one has become two
And we have lost our connection
It is debilitating
To lose our other half
Sadness engulfs
And we no longer laugh
Not being with you
Can hurt so much
Like walking with a limp
When there used to be a crutch
Where did this go wrong
I will never understand
We were two peas in a pod
Anything we could withstand
My sense of self
Has begun to wane
An amputee
Suffering a loss with pain
The gild came off the rose
Followed by our rift
We did not take care
Of our precious gift
Our two broken pieces
Will never be mended
Damage was done
But any harm unintended
What is to be the next step
We will have to decide
I fear I will wander aimlessly
Without you at my side
Christine Bolton
