I fell even lower
The balance of our relationship
In the beginning we hung like a Calder mobile
In perfect balance,moving slowly
Then shapes began to drop from your side
NO.
First the red triangle of passion fell, I plunged.
NO.
Now lower, trying not to see the imbalance
One more shape dropped from your side,
I fell even lower.
NO.
Finally the circle of trust fell.
The concept of balance was lost forever.
NO.
I plunge towards the toxic mercury fountain of bitterness
beneath me.
The balance gone forever…
