As a conjoined twin

As a conjoined twin

There was a time

I needed an "other" 

in order for me

to feel loved

and valuable.

When the other left

I was devastated.

If my "conjoined twin"

was separated,

I did not know

who I was.

Infatuation is

the most addictive 

of all drugs.

How 
sad 
and 
futile.

false self
