Unbalanced balance



They always did have things in common, they loved the sky, moon and stars and how the universe spoke to them.

At times, they were so alike they almost felt as one- staring at each other was to stare at one’s self.

At times, they were so alike Yin met Yin and Yang met Yang- so much power but not enough balance.

They always did have things in common, they understood to leave was to love when it hurt.

    Ouch. This describes my 14 year relationship that ended. The last line in your poem can only be understood after one has healed. Loved reading every word…even when it hurt.
