You and I,

Were never the perfect constellation that could ever be formed

We were destructive

Agony was the ruler of our world

Like burnt bridges

Falling leaves

Untravelled roads

Dark skies


You and I,

Were never the perfect landscape a painter could ever paint

We were like a morse

Sent to the Earth

For one to decrypt the other

Our breaths were

Like signals to our intertwined souls

And numb bodies


You and I,

Were never the perfect relaxant to mortality

We were the definition

To absurdity

To vulnerability

To abnormality

To unread books

Like prosaic poetry



You and I,

We were never the perfect verse a writer could ever write

Our existence was senselessly divine

We were beyond comprehension

You and I,

Were like

Half-lit cigarettes and cookies
