Acceptable Losses

How did we get here
From where we once were
Into this state of being
So many things
We took for granted
Took away
Successions of
Intimate knowledge
In repose
Mutual attenuation
Subtle changes
Less ourselves
Brought to bear
Against each other
Over unity, perpetually
Broken, unresolved
Without healing
We dissolve
Without earning
Trust and giving
Benefit from doubt
We embrace only
Acceptable losses
