In you, the world made sense.

I stared at your paradoxical movements,

individual strands of DNA,

tangled up into one suited wildcard.

Your chaos grounded me

My positive charge a magnet for your electromagnetic storm.

The shock of two ships colliding on a sea of emotions

So thick with the fog blown by those who

Could not begin to understand us

So different

And yet the same.

So lucky am I to have your borrowed blues and blacks

Complimenting my mossy greens and thumping reds.

In you, I watched my days go by like children on a carnival ride

And falling asleep on the way home.

The home that I became for you

Stood still when you wanted to burn down the forest around it

And watched as you followed your path of breadcrumbs

From door to door of the wrong company

Accompanied by the savage thoughts beating down your stone-age walls

In time,

We told each other

In time,

Everything would settle,

Just dust on the shelves of the lies we were living.

The lies of our lives promised in our prime,

When we were indivisible.
