In the numbingness of the cold
We learned a lot about each other
What we chose to forget
Based on what we chose would break us as individuals
Celebrate the achievement of this failure
Or mourn the atrocity of how it demolished
We remained as links to a cheap chain
Refusing to be broken or torn
For reasons unknown
But we remain rusted
By the wrath of past storms
Must we be physically shaken
In order to start anew
The screeching cries
Of the links
Scraping
Against each other
Refusing
To defy
The warranty made within each other
Will soon give in
And the thunderous drop
Of each link
That once held all that there was together
Will be heard by not one soul
But felt within the two
Griping
Onto one another
