➼ Dichotomy

---

That day was an aesthetic curse,
a sad day with my best smile on;
I didn't know what was going on,

but I knew exactly
how beautiful that was.

I remember how it felt like, honey.
The sun sweetened my skin, and
I believe the burning mark
still has three layers; it's dark.

I remember the way I walked on the sand,
the way I burned my feet aching over
the black sandals that weren't even mine,
and the way I lost my hope so tender.

I remember how I collected dead corals
and tossed them into the water one-by-one.
I remember how I said I'd love to forget
but left the idea just to repeat what was done.

I remember how I grabbed a handful
of sand--the water's temperature contrast--
and threw them away as if it would
make all of the moments that I want last.

The scalding atmosphere around me and
the freezing feeling in my heart
were a fine pair of contraries.
And I admit I love opposites.

We were once a paradox.
We were once fourteen and a half
pairs of oxymora.

We were a treasure chest
too fragile to be opened
because we were perfectly
made to be damn ruined.

We are an aesthetic curse,
a perfect one 'cause we should be broken
and a flawed one 'cause we're now open,

but I knew exactly
how gorgeous my sunsets were
with you.
