Broken Love
written by: Arlene Antoinette
Up and down. Down, then up again.
Our love sits on the edge of a shaky seesaw
which strains against our useless efforts. There’s
no winner in our childish game of tit-for-tat.
We’re both losers as we struggle to keep each
other off-balance in this love-hate relationship.
