It was never one

With a fluent stroke of pen
We wrote our name
Joined to form an entity,
A word, one till eternity
Or so we thought…

And we etched that beautiful name
Not playfully but as a serious game.
A bond to last a lifetime,
A mantra to be our lifeline.

An entity to cherish
A bond to love and nourish
In life- from moment, first to last

And with a divine stroke
It shattered and broke
Slashed in two distinct halves
As if it was never one.
