Spinal Discord
It was a process
that took time
for the heart to reveal to the mind
they were no longer in accord -
that they no longer shared
the rewards of commitment.
The heart had long since withdrawn,
and the mind had grown indifferent.
The only tether keeping them together
was the spine.
For they'd convinced themselves
over time
there was honor in its uprightness.
Yet, the sparkle has dimmed in the iris,
the heart continually aches
and the mind compartmentalizes.
And the honor of the spine
can never ever stand
in place of joy.
