Domino Chain Waiting to Fall

Crisp, unwinding branches
Hovering over our towered bodies
Casting shadow plays against our bodies
Playing almost hide and seek
High and hang
Mouths, frozen in mid-motion
As you read the hidden, small print code
Forgive and forget
Give and you shall receive
How come it didn’t come in battle for
You & I
As we wasted seconds and breaths
On something that was long lost
Long lost
Long gone
It was a series of dominoes only waiting to fall
As we glanced and smiled
It was only waiting to fall
