A Priori

Your mistake
— How gravely rendered,
And how quietly I complained,
— Such a strange alchemist you became.

Press your mouth
To mine
Distract me, so that I
Can forget what you said
— I know you don't want to talk
And I don't know what I want
— But I know
What I saw:
Through the mirror,
What I watched
Beneath the glass,
What I continued to defend
And ceased to believe in.

Your splintered smile,
Your dual intent,
That which you pretended and
Never meant.

It was your mistake
— How gravely rendered.
How quietly I complained,
Such a strange alchemist you became
— Mixing love with games.

Your splintered smile,
Your dual intent,
That which you pretended
And never meant.
