Fearful Symmetry

I can still smell the lustful intentions of your perfume

in the shirt you once wore.

I regret all the meaningless battles

of a couples war.

 

I know you will soon be

back inside my arms.

but the voices inside of me

scream with jealous alarms

 

I argue with the lies

inside my head;

I know one day

we will be wed...

 

I cry as I kiss the ghost

of you in memory.

I know our love binds and distorts

in fearful symmetry.
