This is not a poem

Our detachment resembled the scissors cutting through paper,
drifting apart slowly and quickly
—swoosh
The pause between every motion of the fingers,
painted the wool that sew our arms together
I love you like the first time you told me your secret.
—swoosh
The threads are untangling and the reasons are vivid,
I wonder why I ever fell for you
-swoosh swoosh
The tape glues the paper together and the edges overlay,
I am reminded
-swoosh swoosh
Some of the edges are on either side,
you clutched a part of me,
I clasped a part of you
swoosh swoosh swoosh
The edge is near,
The paper will be split to two,
I try to hold on to the ashes you glued on to me
swoosh swoosh swoosh
It is over now.
I am another piece of paper now,
you are someone else now,
The wind blows,
the distance plays its course
It is over now.
Perhaps we will be painted with experiences in the future,
yellow,
blue,
so when we look for the tape,
we can be green again.
