Oil and Water

A Poem

By Rose PelosPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Similar, but not quite the same

Two magnets facing the wrong side

Cannot blend, cannot mix, cannot fit in

One heart alive, and the other’s died.

Twins, but not the identical kind

Black and white with shades of grey,

Arguing until somebody’s in the right

He’s oil, she’s water, one will leave, one will stay.

Anger meets lust behind closed doors,

Switching their roles from master to slave

The sweet little kisses followed by the sting of pain

To find a conclusion they both so crave.

The whole world seems to know they can’t mix,

Everything sets them apart.

It ended before the beginning.

It’s a love that should never start.
