A Difficult Separation

How can we say that we still love each other When we selfishly went the opposite ways? You took the freeway and I, the skyways How can we say that we care for each other When we no longer snore under the same roof? We don’t know where we slept last night We have no idea if one lied down on the right Or the other on the left side that is aloof. Our depraved children are scared and confused We don’t know how to humanely explained The logarithmic formula that we diffused Haphazardly when the in-laws complained About the crickets that became bitterly aloud. These days, we are neither happy nor proud. How can we say that we blindly love each other When we both agreed to go our separate ways? How can we frankly care for each other When we both abandoned the gourmet food on the trays? The feelings are strange, unusual and compressed The plants and the flowers are no longer natural Our children looked sad, desperate and depressed Amidst this mess though we tried to remain cordial.
