Relationship
Some relationships taste like old dust.
Those are the kinds of relationships where people get sick of each other.
Fast.
They've been around each other so much,
That they become a part of their surroundings.
A dusty old dry taste,
Lingering;
On your tongue.
Daniel & Wilhelmina are (will) never (be) old dust.
Some relationships feel like fire.
The burning passion living through its long life.
The ashes still sparking,
When the fire goes out.
When something is tossed in,
The fire starts up again.
Bursting with flames, and
Swallowing everything in its path.
Daniel and Wilhelmina are always (on) fire.
Some relationships taste like cantaloupe.
Sickly sweet.
The sticky juice remaining on your skin
Wherever you go.
The hours wash away the sticky sweetness,
Leaving a layer of grey glue on your skin.
Daniel and Wilhelmina would never make it as cantaloupe(s).
Some relationships look like kaleidoscopes.
A blend of colors,
Confusion.
Shapes that make no sense.
The unique pattern that each individual kaleidoscope holds.
The dizzy feeling you get if you look at it for too long.
If you think too hard to figure out the geometry behind it.
The impossibility for the pattern to last
Forever.
Daniel and Wilhelmina have let (their) kaleidoscope (relationship) be.
Some relationships are like Humpty Dumpty.
No matter how hard they tried,
No one could put him back together again.
The corrupt clumsiness,
One simple mistake.
Tilting too far to one side,
Or the wind just blew a little too hard.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the king's horses and all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty back together again.
Daniel and Wilhelmina are (never) as stupid as Humpty Dumpty.
Some relationships are like clocks.
They follow the same schedule.
The same pattern.
At this hour we do this,
At that hour we do that.
Eventually it gets boring.
The clock becomes a nuisance, and
Nothing more than a vexing ticking noise,
Ticking away in the back of your mind,
Tick tock – tick tock.
Daniel and Wilhelmina fail to follow schedules (properly)
Some relationships are like Daniel and Wilhelmina's.
A time bomb.
The ticking from the clock,
The great mistake,
The pattern that never lasts forever,
The paper that feeds the fire,
Wilhelmina Slater and Daniel Meade.
Daniel Meade and Wilhelmina Slater,
Standing Alone,
That's a category of its own.
