The Cruel Universe

Two souls intertwined.
Suffering at every turn
Two souls meant to be.
Always kept apart.
For the universe works for their separation

The universe works for their separation and succeeds.
My prayers weren’t enough.
My hopes weren’t enough.
My best wishes weren’t enough.
For she had to leave him
For she had to leave us

It hurts me for she was my best friend.
But it hurt him far more.
It probably hurts her as well, but her pain isn’t visible.
His pain however is, and it tears me apart.

It tears me apart to see such a strong man broken.
It tears me apart to see someone I look up to like this.
I want him to be okay.
I want her to be okay.
I want them to be okay.
For they are family
For they give me light

I hope they reunite whether I exist or not.
I hope they end up okay.
I hope the universe finally works for them.
For angels like them don’t deserve to suffer
For people like them don’t deserve to suffer
For people who brighten lives don’t deserve to suffer

They need to be okay.
For if the lord lets them suffer
Then the lord isn’t merciful
For no god who cared would hurt his angels
