Did I split?
Myself?
Was I One
Always ‘together’
Always fun?
The Acceptable bored
So I cleaved
And fell here
Bereaved
Mourning every morning
Alone
Uncuddled – Uncuddlable
Separate – Separable
Almost forgotten
Searching forlorn
Ever since being born
But am I right
Is it real
Was I once One
How did it feel
A lifetime
Of seeking
Not knowing
Just bleating
A vague feeling
On the edge
Fleeting
Are YOU there?
Am I there?
My other half
Or is it delusion
Causing more bruises
Hurting
Fallen
Still falling
Plunging down
All my own work
God what a jerk.
