Predestined

Are we saying good-bye when we just said hello?

The future unveiled by Cupid's arrow

A scripted scene that says exit stage left.

Were you not meant for me?

A chosen moment on a Sunday morning

ignited by your touch and we saw

the beautiful butterflies flying by.

Lovers slumber dreaming tomorrow.

Only a fading echo carries your name.

Darkness looms, my returning companion.

Another day dawns.

Such disdain, such pain.

The unfinished book about us,

A predestined interruption.

"Excuse me" says Fate, "May I cut in?"

Happily ever after for some, tragedy for us.  

There it is; my heart carefully returned.

I will lie down next to it and cry a little.

We thought we knew the future.

If the future has already been written,

I demand a rewrite.
