They Were in Love

They were in love.

All wide eyed!

A two-way mirror they saw their love through.

Unclarity in its reflection,

But the world truly saw,

From the other side.

Damned to be fools.

Fools, to be damned.

So lost in each other to see the truth.

Was this ever going to last?

Fate has a way with beautiful things.

Maliciously plotting,

Watching over everything as if it's only but a chessboard.

she comes a knocking on the door of a precious scene.

Two lovers so intertwined, she sees.

Tragedies start with,

Unlike fairy tales end with,

“And they lived happily ever after.”

She said, “Don’t be fooled.”

Begins another tale.
