A Lonely Attraction

Our destiny was slipped
into our back pockets the
moment we responded
to our first emails, even
though we pretended to
be reluctant and apprehensive;
exploring indiscretions,
we learned a new version of
the truth soon to be shared
as a hollow tree trust
slowly developed around us;
yearning to learn and too
much silence at home, we
became mercenaries,
fighting off the oblivious
spouse who only wanted
what was wanted, sharing
absolutely nothing else.
