i was made out
of broken glass
and jagged edges
dangerous
fragile
beautiful
formed to be
strong
capable
resilient

much more precious
are the scenes of
morning coffee
watching TV
talking about
nothing in particular
i am reminded
that our love
is not at all times
fireworks and sparks
but finding solace
in the normal
kissing each
other good night
like always
like us
not boring
but one

sanity never entered
the vocabulary of
what we had
sans peace
sans order
it was dynamic
and explosive
a chaos meant
to be enjoyed
hot and scalding
and dangerous
what we had
burned and died
like a white dwarf star
its light losing shine

teach me all the ways
to make your heart
flutter like a child
dance in summer rain
jump over rainbows
i yearn to make
your heart
beat

rock paper scissors shoot
flashes of
pelting stones
shredding of dreams
and splitting relationships
unlucky is my fate indeed

do not ask for purpose
nor seek meaning
because what we have
cannot be proven
by evidence
what we have
yearns for the unknown

chain me to
the memories of
laughter and bliss
ones where we weren't
in a state of perpetual
lost and negativity
lock me there
because i can't
bid farewell to the broken
motion our love repeats
