For Janet, with regrets

How could you possibly have known me?
He you saw was but a fragment
A late-come chimera fit to show
And shock, but not too much
It even had me tricked
I thought my devils dead.
A fools' trap
Opened yawning as I reached for you
You the logical choice
The suitable, the obvious
It was, of course, too easy
And we both paid the price.
I have never known such isolation
Two souls in different flesh
Perfectly packaged and sealed
Alone.
