A/N: I seldom write poetry, and when I do it turns out like this weird little thing. After episode 3x05 Contorno I just really wanted to write something about the word reciprocity. As a foreign speaker some words just tickle my brain. That and this strange relationship between Bedelia and Hannibal that I haven't yet figured out or understand.

Disclaimer: I would love to own Bedelia, but as long as she and Hannibal comes as a package deal I think I'll pass.


It was a dance

One step forward

One to the side

And two steps back

Around and round it went

In enchanting circles

x

He gave and you took

You forgot and he remembered

Even apart you were together

Lonely but never alone

x

You were one

But you weren't the same

A correlation of beings

Symbiosis of the flesh

A never-ending cooperation

x

Did the exchange matter

Serve a purpose

Was it fruitful

Beneficial

x

Should they sever the bond

Deny their nature

End the charade

x

When the dance stopped

What was left

How long did mutual understanding last.


A/N: I hope it makes some kind of sense.
