Félicitations

If what seems obvious to me 
Is still questioning for you
Then it’s transparent to me
We will never find the truth
Two ions charged in the same way
Repelling one another
I can’t break through with you
Or complete the missing parts
Collecting dust
Because you’re already full
Mechanically the gears are
Clunking and grinding
What is clear in our stance
Is all the clarity we needed
All the focus that we’ve had
In our long elated past 
Is clouded by a privilege 
Exultantly
Unfortunately for me 
A privilege I don’t have
To wake you up
Stretch out to see what 
You are missing from me
Opening your eyes to the 
Reality of an invisible pain
From my perspective
You are blinded by your gains
You are surrounded by your 
Everything you ever wanted
Playing out the way you planned
And for you I am pleased
How delectable

Obvious Tragedy

Bullet holes
Casings everywhere
Broken glass
Cold despair

Crawling out
From underneath
Our wreckage
Accepting no defeat

We rise above
Break the heart open
Even further than
We thought it could expand
No longer choking

Double whammy
Strength in numbers
Titles discarded
We spoon the hunger

For a better state of mind
For a more loving
Way to find
One another

Exonerate
Absolve the pain
Liberated
Break the chains

Without the expectation
To commit
To something we
Were never meant to
Find a fit

Heal the puzzle
Locate the stain
A true design
That we can frame

Serving dinner at a table
That was once
Shaken unstable

Now is bountiful
With nourishment to feed
Tear down the walls
Reveal the obvious tragedy
