Obliterate

o·blit·er·ate ( P )
(-blt-rt, -blt-)tr.v. o·blit·er·at·ed, o·blit·er·at·ing, o·blit·er·ates
To do away with completely so as to leave no trace.
To wipe out, rub off, or erase (writing or other markings).
Medicine. To remove completely (a body organ or part), as by surgery, disease, or radiation.

They met, at arms length, walked along,
parted,on their way, in trust once,
people, mutual, close,
now disjoined, in one's anger,
over being loved, endlessly,
victimized, maybe, maybe not,
maybe one of them had a better choice,
both right in their own,
one chose lonelinesss,
and the other her dreams,
eventually, to fall in love, in parting,
both alien to each other's absence,
only to find themselves far away,
in fate's arms, in tears,
obliterated.
