Tipping point found in bubble bath

He promised her his world but reserved
the right to change his fickle mind
but she dared him to stand beside his lies
make them truths, make things right.

Eyes unfocused he saw two realities
she knew she couldn’t fix this man
So she uses the only trick she has left
Waits naked for him, bathing in bubbles

Rules broken and hearts on the mend
She eyes his clock, his paused heart,
begins second guessing everything
but he slips in behind her, holding her

and if forever is a whisper of change away
neither knows if this will be the last time
both hoping for sort of broken beginning
instead of tortured and final goodbye.
