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.
