MY WORSE HALF

I am always at a loss
With you
You hold onto me
Onto my emotional strings
They are not frayed
The skeins are strong
You are not
You wear me thin
And the tugs
On my screaming threads
Holler into my ears
But I cannot leave you
I don’t want to
You will die without me
I know
Sometime, somewhere
I was the mate
You longed for
You yearned for
I am here
Don’t you see?
You say you’re waiting
For what?
I am the one waiting
Waiting for time
Waiting for redressal
Waiting for you to find yourself
