Neverending war of forever

They each look around the room
and there's nothing there.
A faint whisper of a breath
is the only indication
that their souls still remain
among the living.

It was very different before.

Smiles, sunshine, flowers, and fruits;
all associated with happiness and joy..
How distant those days seem now,
how ruthless was reality's blow
when she decided to charge into their lives.

In an instant, hopes and dreams are crushed.
With careless words even the most passionate lovers
destroy in seconds what took years to build.
And rebuilding takes more than forever,
should they eventually decide
to attempt the unattainable.

It can never be the same as before,
better, yes; worse, sometimes...

The task at hand looms on the horizon,
with their plans laid on the table
and their weapons at ready.
The only decision left
is whether this endless war
is worth fighting

(Deep breath)

"One more battle".
he says,
once again.
