Collage

I'm weighed down by this one stoic dream frayed at its seams Its contorted temper depleting my own A first engagement refuses to live It frees reflections churning inside and known but unseen Each time you smile it rages its calm and endangers me Each prickly step returns a joy and plunges in I'm feted by the remains of the vivid blankness A frigid noise encumbering what we once knew Tempestuousness now weaving between piles of waste Gaps forming intricate designs engulfing our joint image Once a simple reflection... you here, me beside Now a confusing collage of me and you scattered throughout
