A reworked poetic illustration of a misguided relationship and it's ultimate demise.
In the beginning:
There is You. There is Me.
Two individuals, attempting the We.

Aborting conversation in preference of touch.
Me relishing You. You delighting Me.
Heated affinity in pursuit of the We.

Erotic confabulation in lust's hungry clutch.
Me feasting on You. You gorging on Me.
Carnal unity masquerades as the We.

Desire grows silent. Tedium screams much.
Me snubbing You. You tiring of Me.
Hissing infidelity betrays the We.

Donning cloak of guilt bearing scarlet smutch.
Me blaming You. You denouncing Me.
Salient culpability unravels the We.

Fear and pride conspire in soul's darkened hutch.
Ego's sword drawn, severing You from Me.
Dawning reality. No desire to save the We.

In the end:
There is You. There is Me.
Together, we have murdered the We.
