He claimed that he loved her
With all of his earthly heart
And she accepted this gratefully
Graciously
Not knowing any differently
She thought it theirs was the epitome
Of requited love
No jealousy only transparency
Kindness and equanimity
And all was well
Until that day
It was a most fateful day
A shift occurred
It clawed at her insides where
Her earthly heart beat
The one that loved him with
An unmatched intensity
Began to cool
Began to question
The veracity of emotion
That he felt
That she felt
She stared into the stars
Searching for that part of his
Heart that lived
Cosmically
The same part that she
Sent each night to roam
Ardor’s galaxies
That brought her back dreams
Of knights in shining armor
She tried to find hidden closets
Hoping his sword and shield were there
In a place where she had not yet
Searched
She could not find them

So, for this woman, having that spiritual connection with the man, eventually, wasn’t, quite enough…
