The doctors cut the cord

and you enter this world

searching for that connection

it could be anywhere


Different states

maybe a distant country

who are you looking for?

What do they look like?

I found mine wrapped behind

my passenger seat

on the birth date of a new

October


Dominick held us down 

while Cupid shot his arrows

the aroma of Italy and a heart

waiting to be mended by the 

other half

Enscripted inside me

this is what everyone's

looking for


We are the puzzle pieces

and when we connected 

it decided compatibility

judgment day in the shadow

of a celebration

and the test was taken

again


Desperation has its effects

like drugs inducing euphoria

and the view of improvement

but this isn't the love meant to be

and this is not supposed to shatter

like ceramic plates laid in pieces
