Leaving Us Poem by Lauren C

We used to be so close
A dynamic duo
My other half
Time wedged himself between us
Making space for Doubt and Opinion to join him
But it wasn't just them
They brought Lies and Assumption too
Insecurities, Drama, Jealousy, Pretending, and Secrets
And the guest list continued to grow
Until it was a party of issues standing in between us
Pushing us to different ends of the relationship
Like people on different side of the room
We had to pass through everything in the middle
To get to each other
And We just weren't strong enough
So we just left
