Crinkled thoughts attempt to unfurl
Words and letters – damn this ruination!
Divided by force, separated
Folded in upon themselves
Mountainous in their minuteness
Kissing the wrongness of the misplaced
Meeting parts of me I’d rather they’d not
Meeting the worst, as there is no best
Who am I kidding?
Crinkled thoughts can never unfurl
Thank you for reading
