A Poem by flickering candle

I fell in love with half of you

 

and when anyone mentioned your name,  i smiled sadly. 

beucase i knew i could only love a part of you

 

i could only be with a part of you

 

i loved half         of you

is that    wrong?

it tore me up inside enough to rip my heart    in half

torn betweeen

 

the kind of person i am and my own afffection that was only yours

 

i was oil and you were vinegar. 

 

you- exciting and dark

showing me your sour, strong world

 

and i-

smooth and flexible,   useful for many things and put wherever needed

 

 

we collided so abruptly that my oily fingers could

barely touch your hands made of

acid

and the bubbles floating between us were as                                       close                                          

 

as we got

like every mix of the two,     we didnt

 

but i wanted to so badly

oil                         and vinegar

just close enough to touch but                             far                        enough away to feel like the distance

would make my

lungs

collapse

 

so i blew oil bubble kisses

and wished

i was 

vinegar. 

-c.s.
