A Fool's Death by Devi Nina Bingham

We were a puzzle

that fell apart

once, a perfect couple
star-crossed sweethearts.

But time has a wicked way
with handsome hearts
our bright blue turned grey
and promises left to rot.

It didn't happen all at once;
a string of let-downs
unfeeling fronts
and childish meltdowns.

Our rainbow turned to rain
I still can see
it never looked the same
what it was meant to be.

A map we didn't follow
a key not used
when we had won love's lotto
stubborn ego was the noose.

Now it seems so obvious
what we failed to do
fate so glorious
demands the diligence of two.

Given a love heaven-sent
guard your gold
lest you die a fool's death
true love grown cold.
