'This' Is 'Their' Relationship Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Tormented!
And they sit with the scent of it.
Hoping what has been done and meant...
Will not segment their love.
Yet exposed in episodes.

Although unhinged and emotionally glued.
They have a togetherness,
Outsiders viewing it...
Believe their 'tightness'
Is becoming unscrewed.

Is it?
These two know what they enjoy and do!

Yet 'this' is 'their' relationship.
And dysfunctional lovers though they be...
They are the two involved in it.
Busted and bruised...
In a viciousness for them is bliss!

Is it pathetic?
Is it?

These two know what they enjoy and do!
And better qualified,
To know whether or not...
If their feelings are true.
