We Never Said Farewell

WE never said farewell, nor even looked
Our last upon each other, for no sign
Was made when we the linkèd chain unhooked
And broke the level line.
 
And here we dwell together, side by side,
Our places fixed for life upon the chart.
Two islands that the roaring seas divide
Are not more far apart.

    I like this poem,
    I like the disconnectedness
    and how she's able to say so much
    without saying very much at all
    it's very sad, yet very well-stated

    kind of makes you wonder
    what sparked ms. coleridge to write
    such a poem
