I held myself to you,
Desperate to fit to your curves
And push myself into your gaps.
I hid at your center
When you were mostly edges,
Still filling in the spaces around you.
All your pieces jumbled and piled together
Waiting for you to dive into them
And fit each fragment along your lines
Piecing together your parts.
Each piece betraying me more.
Calling me out as an imposter
As I tried to hide my edges from you,
Carve off my corners and make me round.
Fearing as your shape emerged
You would realize I didn’t fit
Within your borders,
Discarding me for a piece that did.
And I i would see your puzzle
Complete
Without me.
