The Parts

Divided,
like a graded rift
in the ocean floor.
They didn't know
each other anymore.
Swimming through life,
fluid in their movements
but broken in
their feelings...
allowing the depth
and meaning
to swift away
in the currents.
What was it?
What was the adhesive
that connected soulful
fibers together?
Was it too far gone?
Washed away and
eroded in the flooded
gravel road of life?
Two jobs, no job,
husband, kids and wife...
torn in half.
Divided
like an ocean rift.
