Siamese
hip to hip
inseparable.
You grew into me
put down roots
and flourished.
Siamese
hip to hip
inseparable.
I share your heart beat
with the world
Sweat
or tears
run from my face
sheathing you
in wetness.
Do we bleed now?
This unholy separation?
Do we bleed?
Your whispers used to brush my ear
Your fingers used to tangle in my hair
I breathed in
your every exhalation
and now
now I am asphyxiating
and blood runs
torn away without formal surgery
no anaesthetic
Goodbye is a razor slicing down between us.
Siamese
hip to hip
lip to lip
inseparable
Oh, the marvels of the modern world
that you could be parted from me
Goodbye is a scalpel.
