a house divided
against itself
must fall.

and a life
divided?

sectioned into
fenced-off areas;

keeping pieces in
separate boxes -

mirror: I see
your mistakes
in both of
my own eyes,

so I never
get to be
whole, and I
never reconcile -

how can I?

halves, at odds,
are parts of you
and repel

if you
couldn't stay
together, then
how can I
unite
myself?

if you couldn't
love
each other,
how will
my own bonds
be strong enough?

two sides
recognize
each other -
I can't be one
when I
am both

the pressure
imploding
divided, like you,
against myself,
I fall

I am not
equal
to the sum
of my parts,
so I fail

you shield
your flaws
from blame, and
history repeats:
I fall

divided,
like you, but
against myself,
my fate
is sealed:

I fall.

[I am]at odds.
