we were never a good fit
you had to turn your wrist just right to hold my hand comfortably
you would wrap your arms around me in a bear hug, your head putting pressure on my neck
you wanted more and less of me at the same time,
so I am glad we caught on early, or I caught on early,
that we would always be fighting each other to be understood if we held on
& I am glad that you reminded me how important it is to fit
so I could find the person who does.

Killing him slowly
There’s an intruder in my house again. He stumbles through the door, wet carrier bags in hand. He’s bought me offerings. I show my appreciation, letting him caress my beautiful body. He wants to touch me. I rub myself against his legs. He sighs, dropping the bags. He can’t resist touching me. Running his hand slowly down my spine, I arch my back towards his caress, let out a low purr. It’s what we both need.

So poignantly written!
This is an amazing poem that holds truth to so many relationships. A reminder that its okay to let people go. Fantastic poem.
So many relationships are like this. Well written
'you wanted more and less of me at the same time' That line especially really hit me! I loved the whole poem but the ending was jsut perfect!
