I slip between the pieces
a crack in the "whole"
We are but two puzzle pieces that pretend to fit together
relying on clay to smooth the gaps between us
Someone is removed
The earth quakes
Our tiles move differently
The fractures appear
The clay is swallowed piece by piece
until we are no longer the same puzzle
just two isolated islands
who used to be acquainted.
The fissures are pulling my down
I belong to neither faction
I am stateless in a group where citizenship is all
Alliances will keep me afloat
but for how long?
I am a meteor
outside the reach of either planet's gravity
doomed to keep coming back around;
Part of neither system,
just a recurring personality in their skies
Our fates were entwined, we thought.
But in truth, they merely crossed,
twisting a few times before parting;
parallel for a time
before being pulled away to new endeavours.
We were foolish to think that we could control our twine.
We can barely follow its journey,
let alone dictate its future.
So now
I choose to say my goodbyes, lest we cross not again.
