Chapter Text
Six months,
stretch out like there’s 1156 miles
between each of the 183 days
separating what they had
and should be.
Six months,
driving wedges between
the truth and the cover up,
the person and the persona.
Six months,
after the end of what they had
and the start of the new
that could stretch on
for years.
Six months together
yet constantly kept apart.
Six months to adapt
to the circumstances.
Six months of falling apart
to decide to fix it.
Six months to give in,
hand in the notice.
Six months went by
but now they’re going home.
