What happens when two exes meet each other?

Zero Sum Game

We went our separate ways

Once we overstayed the painful days

Together tangentially, bipolar opposites

Entombed, penitentially, unipolar proximates

Who was plus, added to who was minus:

Camus added to Thomas Aquinas

Courtshipping guilt-tripping when doing the math

Step out dripping from the draining bloodbath

We were right to distance from who we've been

Wobbled uncertainties 'gainst crumbling linchpin

We, equally opposite — neither victim nor hero

All summed up, we simply add up to zero
