Chemistry

You were the catalyst
the spark
the wanton piece of magnesium to a flame —
so bright that I should have looked away
but you blinded me instead.

In my darkness
You. Pull. Me.
Mutual negatives —
bond.

We are entropy
The dysfunction in my system
that was never accounted for.
Disorder so considerable.

Until there is too much heat
molecules unable to hold
and the hypothisis of my soul
means that equilibrium
can not be reached.
