Today's poem or short story prompt: "pair/pairs/pairing".
A Pair
ReplyDeleteIt is as small as a tiny universe
Not easily grasped nor understood
She may or may not be my twin
I thought she
My other half
Was the lost child
I was wrong
Thought this was as good as it could get
Only needed to leave you behind
Let you go
The surgery was difficult
The aftercare incomplete
The healing slow
I look back and wonder
How I tolerated the pain
You
My other half
Kept alive in a good place
A happy household
A safe house
We didn't have a choice then
I know you're there
I think I've seen you in dreams
The stranger that feels familiar
The luck not of my own accord
We are a pair
Aren't we?
