we've been dead
for so long
the Us of Us
that loved and dreamed
together
the Us of Us.
during cold dark nights
i could hear
the creaking floorboards
as death crept in
and slipped
bone-dry fingers
around the throat
of the Us of Us
choaking the love from
the Us of Us.
we grieve too long.
someone say the eulogy.
sprinkle handfuls of earth.
toss in the rose.
cover it well.
cover it well
the grave of
the Us of Us.
bid goodbye.
set free
the ghost
of the Us of Us.

Wow.

That was incredible.
And haunting in its famniliarity.
It is too easy to lose the us.
It's taken away by bits of me and bits of you and some of them
and then you see that us only exists in sacred moments and memories.
Do you make more moments?
Do you dream more memories?
Move the Us to a You and You?

Thanks Pixie, yes you're right, it goes by tiny bits and pieces while we're busy with other things...life. Love needs tending, and too many of us don't...guilty here.
