It Never Adds Up

Sometimes
our paths cross
bisecting our lives
with love's compass
leaving a pinprick
in the centre
of our equation
piercing through
paper-thin feelings
falling unequally
on either side
of the sphere
leaving us
on parallel lines
stranded on
separate planes

Not a numbers game
Life seldom adds up
to a perfect sum
