Divergence  
by Dekafox

There is now a hole  
What once was there  
Now is not.

The dragon cries in vain  
For now he knows  
It cannot be.

As he watches her go  
Their roads diverge again  
Never to meet?

He tries to look ahead  
Down both the paths  
But cannot see.

The path he must follow  
He does not know  
Walking on alone.

What concerns him the most:  
The path she follows  
Making her happy.

He knows that she cries  
But cannot comfort her  
Or help her.

Places that they have shared  
He hopes she still  
Can go see.

Whether with a new self  
Or one people know  
To visit friends.

Though now they feel pain  
Time will heal wounds  
Leaving them free.

Fate is a fickle being  
Teasing with one hand  
Then taking away.

They have said their goodbyes  
Their lives go on  
Yet still they wonder:

What will be?
