Love Poem: The Whole Thing. . .

The Whole Thing. . .

Why do you look at me 
like that
why do you taunt me so
when you know 
that every time you do
I fall in love
with the same you 
that isn't in love 
with the same me

we both know that
we can never be 
the same as we were
because of mistakes 
that we both made
that neither of us
are willing to forget
even though 
we both know
that there will always 
be a place 
in both our hearts 
reserved especially for the other 
that can never be filled 
with anything except 
the piece of the heart 
that the other has 
and wants to keep 
but doesn't want 
the whole thing
