Girl: gaping cavern of need, octopus arms flaying out
desperately for affection.
Boy: pure void, mimicking mocking mirror, moldable clay chameleon.
The parallel lines of Girl and Boy intersect arbitrarily.
Electric sparks fly as the two seeking substances collide.
Separate entities meld into a single identity.
Intertwining vine-limbs and alignment of internal ideologies,
Soul caressing, synchronize heartbeats, interwoven mind links.
Identity theft.
Boy caught stealing Girl from herself.
The embrace becomes a death grip.
With the mask of love-giver,
Leech Boy sucks greedily on his prey.
The idyllic lovers emulate Munch’s “Death and the Maiden.”
Gluttonous Girl is forced to see the hatefulness of her Need
As mirror lover mimics her affection starved cries, amplified.
Boy choked Girl with her own rope.
But she tore away, leaving behind her Need.
