Solve For Ex

Amidst our love’s equations,
ex remained an undetermined variable.

Throughout all of our mathematical madness, we both had some tough problems. 

Words heard upon deaf ears, they were just words after all as we both discovered. 

Good intentions may have been their shadows, shadows require light and die within darkness.

Early on we practiced addition, as we put ourselves together. Resulting in something bigger than that of our own. 

Physical attraction our common denominator, never did our numerators ever line up. 

Our individual struggles we battled, quickly multiplying. Neither one of us acquainted with zero so the trauma quickly outnumbered the love. 

Resentment a product, dividing our atoms of desire into millions of shattered pieces, as we tore each-other apart. 

It quickly became overly apparent, we weren’t solving for an undetermined variable but rather accepting, ex was referring to both of us!  

Math doesn’t lie.
