Ever After

The poem is about a husband and wife who split up. The relationship has changed. We don't know which of the two spouses changed. Could of been one? Could of been both? One has come to terms with not knowing the other anymore, to not knowing what the two as a couple has become. Each individual no longer knows what they are.  There isn't an "us" anymore. There now individuals of their own. From love at first site to complete strangers. It even states that they are separate now. I think there either going through a divorce or had gone through one. The word ex has already been put to a label. It is not only a word put in front of husband or wife, for this now separates individuals. It has a whole new meaning that is now in front of there once know husband and wife to ex-husband and ex-wife. It almost seemed like even if there were happy moments it was never talked about, about being together as one.The brief talk about a wedding states that they were happy at one time. The detail about sweetness of layers in a white cake, makes me believe that is the only time of happiness, but in spurts. It came and it went. Then slowly one thing began to cause change and unhappiness. One after another and just kept on. I also believe that who ever is speaking this is the one having a harder time then the other. They weren't the one who changed. They want to believe they stayed the same and tried while the other didn't. The other who doesn't care that they were no longer an "us".
