things I have been thinking about

Good at Math

You've said it,
she's said it,
he's tried saying it-
It's what I haven't said already.
I'm at a loss of feelings, not words.
Dammit, I'm an artist in Palmyra,
and I like numbers-
one plus one, like you and me:
equals two too often into us.
Getting in love with you is so geometric, complicated.
I feel numb when I try for it.
You move your body like romance in chemistry, right?
But you don't count the times that our hearts have changed shapes in hurt.
It's more simple math.
We just don't add up.
