Asymmetric
Love, asymmetric.
Like her smile.
Like the letter ‘P’
The impractical puzzle
Disproportionate and dysfunctional
Impossible
Not upways
Nor sideways
Nor downways
His and hers
Broken
Crunching
Crumpling
Tearing and twisting
Desperation
Never he
Never hers
Never they
His for her
Distorted, drained and destroyed
For peace
For love
For vanity
Hopeless
For later
For life
For loss
Forgone and forgotten
The life once imagined
Disgraced by an ‘X’
Like his eye.
Like a perfect circle.
