The decision to leave 
was easy it was 
over whatever it was 
that it eventually became 
it didn’t simply tarnish 
or take on patina 
expected as it aged 
or even the bitterness 
frequently associated with reduction 
no it became more 
no less it became 
so much less that 
leaving it behind was 
simple whatever it was 
that it eventually became 
oh we had dreams 
most we had gotten 
we had great times 
and our bad times 
maybe that was it 
the it it became 
just two men living 
separate lives together and 
absent of any dreams
