Extended Metaphors Theoretically,
we made sense.
But it only applied
when the conditions
were perfect,
when no outside force
had any effect on us.
Invariably,
someone would
shift our perspective
or destroy any semblance
of equilibrium.
We were unstable-
our love so elastic
it was bound to break,
resulting in inversely-
related interest.
Your attraction to me
diminished with
each added barrier;
your indifference
produced my substitution.
Practically,
we could never work.
