we

the heart feeds off
the notion of you.
its a parasite
it pumps venomous thoughts into me.
my pride
chisels you off the heart.
flake by dead flake
i am reduced
life less alive.

the present cleaves
the past bounds.

pride can only pry off
so much...
the rotting remains,
the imagined threads
now keep us in a sickly embrace.

tangled and apart.
dark and in limbo.
we, do not make a 'we'.

a part of us buried
slimy, unhappy
its hands trying to grasp
in two different directions.
