We were two halves
trying to fit
our pieces
together.
We took away
fragments of
ourselves
apart,
little by little.
Not knowing
we were already
slicing chunks
off of each other
becoming someone
we no longer
recognize.
It was then
we realized,
no matter
how much
effort we put,
how much
we stripped off,
we couldn't force
the pieces to fit.
You and I,
we weren't right
but
at least
we tried.
I tried to change for you, you tried to change for me.
I tried to change you. You tried to change me.
We tried to make things work between us but we just couldn't fit.
