Why I Even Bother
Curse-ed is me.
I am enamored beyond description
(yet still I’ll bother to try)
you caught me unawares,
when I held my heart-pieces, bewildered,
I saw a likeness in the bandages you hid,
not sticking so well because they’d been
applied and removed, applied and removed,
too many times, to want to ever reapply again.
all of which told me,
(all bullshit aside,)
that at least I have with you
a kindred spirit in stride.
