the girl was a mess
of sadness and hope and lingering thoughts
that ran through her veins, and poisoned her mind
until she found herself delirious,
looking for nothing and no one in particular

the boy was fallacious
clinically depressed
finding comfort in the things made by the hands of a middle class man
but he believed himself to be on the path
towards recovery

the boy found the girl by accident
and he wanted to love her so
but he did not,
he did not

and the girl agreed by accident
and she wanted to love him more
but she did not,
she could not

and in the process of attempting to build each other up
they tore each other down
and in the end,
all that lasted
were shreds of broken souls
and memories that were supposed to mean something
