Cutting Our Losses



Our relationship devolved
into a choice between two wires -
one, though red, immaculate,
the other frayed beyond repair.

If we cut the first we would explode,
burning out our flames,
while moving on.

If we cut the second
…neither knew.
but both of us preferred
the end.

  2. Is there an easy way? I doubt it. A choice between two pains. Are you really breaking up Ben Ditty? I'm so sorry!

    1. I'm not, Annie. Just some thoughtful contemplation on my part.
