Prose – ParaMort


– ParaMort –

For the presence of my paramour,
I am far less comfortable in closer spaces.
The fractures in my personality
leave me without a sense of trust,
and that lack of trust leaves me wanting
even more than what you have already given.

It was for the best;
this complication that tipped the scale,
this interruption in our journey
which set us on a diverted course.
You would only want the best of me,
and the reality of what I can be
is far less capable than you wish to believe.
