There It Goes

There It Goes

By Daisy Dai

How quickly love comes
How quickly it goes

In no time at all
The water once
So clear has
Become gray from
A single droplet of ink

Clouding, contaminating
So neither of us can take
Any more sips

The ink keeps coming
That pen bleeding and
We’re unable to
Stop it

It’s all over our hands
Staining them blue

I never knew
Love was
So fickle
So frail

How easily it came
There it goes
