In Love, Yet....

Imagine unified souls  
convinced of belonging together  
as they seem already fused
yet they cannot be
tangled creatures and free
 
Imagine a saint
a golden rule lover
who cannot read
a heart's needs
 
Imagine a family  
who loves through  
pushes and pulls  
until shiny youth dulls
 
Imagine threads  
snapping open, holes
growing with a ripping crew
'til stars in the tent show through  
 
You don't have to lose love
to lose what you have
