Incompatible?

you like to sleep in.
she likes
to get up early
and cry.
you enjoy breakfast, she
has a glass
of lemon water.
you go for a walk,
she runs until her feet
bleed.
you want to make love,
she doesn't.
you read fiction, she's
onto self help, self love,
avoidance.
you tell the truth,
she lies.
you try to be transparent.
she hides.
you forsake all others.
she keeps
all the ex's close by.
you want to talk, or hold
her, she asks you why.
you love the holidays,
she wrecks each one, and
makes them about her.
you want to go out to
dinner, see a movie.
she boils an egg
and puts on a cartoon.
you turn off your phone.
she stares into hers
all day and night,
cradling it in her hand,
like a loon.
this will never work.
