A love is falling apart between them,
Hands clasped pushing not pulling the other
Where looks once lingered now claim the stem
With harsh thorns, There the rose they did sever.
Music plays their history out on air
By the accordion’s distant yearning
Which their bodies answer to thus declare
Love has proved a sudden halting hurting.
That which is left of their fading song
Calls for one more turn alone together
A moment too sweet for their bruised right wronged
They face the future bitter weather.
Eyes closed they land the blows and tear apart,
Song stopped they lie each in their crimson heart.
