What do we do

When the we becomes he

Or the we becomes she

What do we do

When what once was three

Becomes two, or one…

When the we becomes

Just me?

When we feel as if

We don’t know how to be

Without the we

That once was

Because

You put so much you

Into that beautiful we.

I do not know

I cannot see

Or perhaps

Maybe

I  will not

I cannot pay the cost

Of knowing

For knowing

Doesn’t come for free –

There’s always a fee…
