Strangers

Maybe we should turn
Into full-on strangers
Twin towers bowing out
Into dust and debris clouds
Or berries falling down
To rot on the ground with someone else
And our duet now cowed
To be full-on strangers

I’m ready to go
I’m ready to go
I’m ready to be with someone more natural
If I were to leave and walk back there
Every pup lives for someone else
Chase ball and wait to be put down
“She never chewed couch”

Maybe we should turn
Into full-on strangers
With no recognition
Simply just strangers
There was no story here
No decades spent spilling tears
No costing our wasted years
Now it’s just blank stares

I’m ready to go
I’m ready to go
I’m ready to be with someone more natural
If I were to cave and walk back there
Be a good pup and not raise hell
Crunch bone to break the tension down
Later can freak out
