"In Two , Into" ...

in two weeks, two years, hearing "We're through"
first six months , cyclic all , "come hither, go away."
next twelve , the predictable emotional traverse
then three , a crisis of healing , out of the blue
a final three , putting that to rest , actively
 
my crisis, not privy to want, just "the" realization
standing in stark reality, its very nature, naked
logic aside, feelings of it, unfettereded writhing
taking life, two actually, its own , some of mine
impetus moot, i consumed me , not deserving it
 
assuming that , i'm sure , wrong , if in fact
"what goes around" , in-deed , "comes around"
be-little awareness, blends ignorance, aberration
still , extraneous this continuum of memory
learning now, what i happened on them, "then"
 
hurting other, intent, accident, sans empathy
in practice, identical, in life-less, important
seldom seeing it, in real time, always in time
cosmic our glass , tied at the waste , meter
thing's turned over, what empty, becomes , full
 
it's occured to me, what all about me, me, me
became me, becoming me, in some old fashion
time-less lessons, self imposed, failing some
in passing, if grace, dignity, stature, manifest
learned from those having, what i had lacked ...
