Disaster

We were beautiful together, once.
Two jagged pieces.
Two misfits who felt the world
was theirs for the taking.
We broke each other apart
and knew just how
the pieces fit together again.

And when the world thought
we didn't quite fit in
and when it tried to show
we were one, terrifying disaster.
We laughed at its face
and smiled
as we defied the universe.

We were two halves
of an imperfect whole.
And the edges never did
quite line up together.

And the world was right
We were one, terrifying
beautiful disaster.
And an amazing one, at that.

We were two jagged pieces.
Two misfits who took the world.
And watched it burn.

And we were beautiful together.

Once.
