62: Who hurt Who?


Who hurt Who? 

I was the closest I’d ever been 

to what I should be.

And you came around. 

Broken as I, 

and set my course,

my navigational beacon, 

to the wrong destination

and I got lost,

searching for the thing 

I was “supposed” to be.

IN ORDER, 

for there to be an us.

But it was a path,

unnavigatable,

because we were only

roadblocks and delays

for one another.

I hope you are back

en route to where you should be and 

I’m sorry, if my actions made you stray,

from your journey.  

Hopefully,   

I was too weak 

to pull you off course.  

The intrigue of us wore off,

in finding the end 

of what was once thought a well, 

but it turned out, only a puddle.  

Your brokenness became reasoning 

but wisdom shows that lack of emotional depth

is something that one can’t just change

at the snap of your fingers.  

No magic tricks,

no water to wine.  

Just 2 people 

that’d be better off,

had they never met.
