When chair becomes a door

Its time that I should stop chasing you

Because I can’t imagine you and me like broken pieces of a chair joined together by glue

Looking ugly

And making that ugly creaking sound

We would rather be those broken pieces

Piled in a corner

Layered with dust so thick that spiders webs can no further worsen it’s condition

Waiting to be reformed into something better

So that when we are at it, we could find a better match for us

I am now a door and the metal latch complements me

Sometimes the children kick me for fun

But it’s okay as is the pain from our separation

It’s just that I miss sometimes the part of me that liked lying around during the day

Was useless and imperfect

Imperfections equate beauty, I always thought but you never believed

I killed that self to become what I am now

A part of whose is still alive within me

Who wants not to die but to express itself

Reminding me of my humble origins

And the futility of everything
