We were once inseparable
Soul mates incarnate
Held by an eternal bond
As strong as tungsten
Yet soft as pure silk
I thought our union
Would last forever
Even to the end of eternity
But the bonds that held us
Have disappeared
Like tears
in the rain
We
had it all, in our grasp
We could see it, feel it, touch it
Something steadfast and solid
Reassuring and comforting
A constant, a given
Something infinite and immeasurable
We had it all in our hands
A living breathing thing
That we gave life
Our own creation, our new entity
But we let it escape from our grasp
Slowly slipping through our fingers
Though we tried to recapture it
It was illusive, like trying to net smoke
It evaded our efforts
So now it's gone, and nothing remains,
Of that entity that was us
Nothing tangible, nothing physical
Only memories remain
