All good things

Can you pinpoint the end of a song,
a movie, a book you read, of a love affair?
Is it the moment you know the plot,
hear the last bar or see the credits
the moment the music stops?

or is it something less definite
that instant you are turned off
not in tune, or just not bothered
that you cannot make him smile rather
than frown.

weighing up the pros and cons
now is a good time to call it quits
to turn off the speakers and
up the lights. to put the book on a shelf
