Us together causes cancer
This relationship is a malignant growth.
Two emotionally crippled people that both had abusive parents
and so, became aberrant adults.

Our wounds connect as scar tissue that never heals
what it covers up. Both never knew what it is to love.
Looking in the mirror is two children
with welts and bruises
whose parents used them as punching bags
because they were frustrated and unsatisfied with lives, they chose.

You pluck the rose and crush its petals
beneath your feet when you meet the woman
that is your doppelganger and you bang her.
Let out your anger on someone who turns to you professionally
for help. Is it not a mystery that death pursues? Your heart
just couldn’t take the news.
