Your smile is captivating, born from the depths of your heart,
Before you include your friends in our plans and chart.
Letting their words think in your brain,
Hearkening to the whistling of the train.

Though we have no lab set, we excel in chemistry,
Exploring the depth of love with simple tapestry.
You flowed with the stream, wrapped in my embrace,
A beautiful commitment, sweet and true, until you let them replace.

Our energy for graceful dance now lost to incessant quarrels,
Arguing over opinions built from the advice of empty barrels.
Once dazzling, now dimmed by the shadows they cast,
I hope you share your fears with them each night, and make peace at last.
Rest on their shoulder, I prefer to be alone
In my room, looking at pictures, listening to sad music from my phone.
