Better Peices

You were old and new all at once
A deadly temptation 
A glitch in my solid nature
And so I dove head first
And as I did I watched the pieces
Of me break away
To reveal an alien 
A rawness, a vulnerability 
I had never thought I possessed
Yet there I was 
And there you were unchanged 
And unaware that I was scrambling 
For my better peices

Fantastic! I love the ending "scrambling for the pieces" Sometimes love leaves us with broken shards. Welcome to the soup. I look forward to reading more from you
