We are reaching out
and claiming
parts.

Bit by bit
we are
grasping
it.

Dividing the
treasure.

But the,


problem?

Is that
the
"treasure."

Is
cursed.

And we
are perfectly aware of
the burden it holds.

Yet this
curse
is the reason we want
the treasure.

The reason we
need
the treasure.

It provides a wonderful
emotion.

Love.

Familiar love
that makes you warm
and proud.

Proud to carry the curse.

And it carries another
curse.

Sadness.

Longing.

And worst of all.

Happy memories.

That can never be made again.

So maybe it is a burden.

To claim and
share
the treasure.

But together our
family
can share the
curse
burden
as one.

As I look back through messages
I am shocked at how cold you were
Then you seemed warm and perfect
My optimistic mind so sure

Now truth is clearer than glass
The reason you sent compliments
Was because you felt guilty, hiding
A flood of flaws under false confidence

The instant attraction was undeniable
We have chemistry, my grave mistake
Believing I needed you to be whole
Now I see I am not a half, without you I won't break

The butterflies felt were real
As were fireworks when we would touch
Everything else I'm sorting through
I cannot figure out as much
