I met it with ease
The touch of another
I set it beside me
The heart of my lover
It's the closest I've been
To happy
To truly
Being
I met it with frustration
The reality that was
But it was something
For always
For not
I felt it with a pause
With a hesitating slide
And decided
That it wasn't right
At least for me
Not for me
The ease
It had left all but everything
Shortly
So shortly
We were tired
We were wilting
The ease had guided
The ease was leaving
The ease was what kept us
The ease was all we had
Relying
Dismissing
We hadn't learned
And we hadn't changed
Nothing from nowhere
Had moved an inch forward
We were so fragile
And we were no longer we.
Not without the Ease.
