Darnell had confessed
the move strangled his whole heart
Tai broke all the rules

two men never loved
as hard and as heavy, but
joke's on everyone

the walls had their smell
the floors held their footprints; life
had turned on its head

a modern-day couch
with multicolored pillows
stood between love birds

who would get the couch
who should get the couch and why
did they deserve it

Darnell paid for it
Tai took care of it and with
destroyed love, comes hate

for this gay couple
the couch meant more; it was love
and love built them up

condo keys returned
an empty living room groans
Darnell and Tai sob
