Double-edged Sword: a poetry collection

I don’t think soulmates exist.
Because Pat and Jen won’t end up in the same nursing home.
Jen will be cared for by her offspring until her last breaths.
Pat will die a death with no relatives by his side.
No one to make it more bearable.

Jen wanted kids, Pat didn’t.
Simple enough, right?
It’s not that simple when they’d already been married for years when they found out about this crucial disagreement.
A divorce was the only option.

After Jen found a love she could agree with, Pat’s YouTube channel became a wreck.
Just like in their mirth-inducing rendition of the movie Titanic, the ship had sunk.
Be it back then in role-play, or now in real life, the ship has sunk.

Pat was an amazing man, but now, he’s been reduced to nothing but a giant square-shaped footprint in my heart.
The blocks he mined and then used to build epic structures will forever stay floating in the depths of the ocean biome of my soul.
I guess the sink didn’t ship enough.
The man who never wanted kids yet unknowingly raised millions through cubes on our screens.
