What became of us?

Plain talk at coffee,
with infatuated eyes,  
across the table.

Long hot baths,
and your soft sighs,
among the bubbles.

Wedding nights,
which had no end,
when desires went,
unspoken.

Wedding vows,
which stand today,
among the promises,
unbroken.

So why are we?
Why do we have to be?

So much sadness in this.  Not sure I totally understand it, but it does keep me thinking.

I, too, find it difficult to understand. I really have no idea what's being said, here. The words are so blatently remorseful, but without supplying a reason. From what is given, it would seem you should be happy! What are you getting at?

Yeah, sometimes when things fall apart, countries, families, people, nerves....
it is pretty hard to make sense out of the pieces.
