So much change
Have no say or control
Feeling frustrated
Things went well
Now are ending
Mixed emotions
So close yet so far
What does it mean
Took it in
Couldn't get enough
Wanted to embrace
Got to close it went away
Kept a distance
Eventually stray away
Cared too much or not enough
It always made things tough

Scorpius
I breathe,
And notice
Their shades
There
With me,
The older
And the younger,
Quietly
Yearning
To be
Received.
My mind
Pins
Them there,
In respective
Corners,
Puzzles
To be sorted
And compiled,
Until my
Heart does
What my mind
Cannot.
Then we breathe
And we settle.

Verdant Quo
like water
I poured myself into her until she was overflowing at the brim

like reinforced steel
I bridged my heart to hers and welded myself to her soul

like the sun
I filled myself with light to cover her darkness

like a blanket
I shielded her from the harsh world underneath the covers

like magnets
I orbited her aura until we inevitably collided

like a seed
I felt myself growing up from her

Then, like an idiot
I could tell she felt nothing.

— The End —
