beautiful poetry by the very talented Kendra Coursey

Cut To Fit


Fill
You up
The same way
That you fill me;
Complete the part of you
That is empty; fill the open
Spaces where part of you should be
Like two puzzle pieces, cut to fit perfectly
Together, in one seamless picture that only stops when
The pieces break apart, to be thrown in a box
With all the other pieces, similar but not quite the same,
Almost fitting yet slightly off. Each one has its own mate, its
Own match, that fits into it like a hand in a
Glove, like water in a cup, like paint in a
Pot. I want to be your water; I want
To be your paint. Use me to create
The picture you’ve been wanting, the images
You want to see, continuous, seamless,
No creases and no openings,
Two of us together,
Like puzzle pieces
Cut to
Fit.
