I knew you.
I knew you before we met that day.
My soul knew you like never before.
You gave me peace, yet
Opened my eyes to the wild nature of my soul.
I’ve met you in another life, another time,
I find comfort within you.
Contrastingly conflicted.
I have never hated to love you,
And I have never loved to hate you.
We breathe the same breaths,
And beat the same beats.
But we hurt the same pain.
And annihilate together.
I am home.
My wonderfully destructive house you have created.
You are oddly familiar.
We paint the same circles
And build the same walls.
My polar opposite,
My other half.
Oh, please never leave.
I’ve known you before.
Oh, beautiful chaos.
Your peace is my brokenness
And my patience is your weakness.

Burning, white heat coursing across flesh
A honky no longer
Leafy flecks marbling skin like wire mesh
Relax and grow stronger
Silence attacked by Dolly Parton’s CDs
A boiling furnace
Darts competitions bring you to your knees
The sun only burns us
The water is contrastingly icicle cool
At night the sunshine abates
Trapped voluntarily here by the pool
Package holidays are great!
