... and he said....
and she said.....
they intruded heads,
went to bed.......
it was a 'game' of consequences
and soon followed sequences;
.......................
... some months later in time,
he declared 'you are mine,
I am yours,
you, my darling, are always my all'...
and there was a moment of note
on the point that he wrote
on a fished-from-his pocket
piece of paper;
he had given his vote
to the girl he found cute;
he'd decided
he wanted her forever;
he had written his vows
in a place he called 'now'
and he read out a beautiful poem;
and on the surface of his heart
'we can never be apart'
but in its depths
he wished to be alone;
so one night
with a fright
he conjured up 'her' true soul
and it wasn't the person he'd thought;
and he tried and he tried
both through truth and through lies
but whatever -
she could not be 'taught';
so they said their goodbyes
and there was no suprise
of the where and the when and the how;
and they made their own lies
of their farces of lives
and they told themselves they were quite clever
as they put on their ties
and they said their goodbyes
and that was that, and for then, and forever
