they hurt us both

they didn’t cooperate with each other

but it seems they shattered us both

ignored our calls

like a broken rhyme scheme

 

they didn’t work alongside one another

but it seems they splattered us both

across the walls

like an open crime scene

 

our fragmented hearts

fit together perfectly

our resented parts

balance effortlessly

 

I think we’re gonna be okay

“maybe the real masterpiece

was the life I made along the way”

because neither of us have to leave
