i could not make you better

 

symmetry kills those it loves

confining us to something less than perfection.

i could not make you better

and so i made you worse.

 

in twisted symbiosis we

reached down each others throats and

dredged up handfuls of whatever we could scrape off (like

clawing for pumpkin seeds) and now

 

we are not quite whole

most definitely unapologetic

temporarily glutting the void with

blistered emotion.
