Divergence

by Dekafox

There is now a hole

What once was there

Now is not.

The dragon cries in vain

For now he knows

It cannot be.

As he watches her go

Their roads diverge again

Never to meet?

He tries to look ahead

Down both the paths

But cannot see.

The path he must follow

He does not know

Walking on alone.

What concerns him the most:

The path she follows

Making her happy.

He knows that she cries

But cannot comfort her

Or help her.

Places that they have shared

He hopes she still

Can go see.

Whether with a new self

Or one people know

To visit friends.

Though now they feel pain

Time will heal wounds

Leaving them free.

Fate is a fickle being

Teasing with one hand

Then taking away.

They have said their goodbyes

Their lives go on

Yet still they wonder:

What will be?
