i've been cut out,
folded over
erased from memory,
on paper at least.
scoffed tone
eyes rolled
just a phase
a lapse in judgement
comparative
to your current
victim/married/chemical
happiness
you've got it all
but i'm not a phase
not so disposable
i am flesh,
i am blood,
i am resolve--
not revenge
a buckshot
sprayed
upon unsuspecting judgement.
i live for the movement
for my beliefs
with the sword
or on it
you're bought and sold
repackaged by the dog
with the most to offer
your shattered piece of mind
a phase
breathless
and snuffed out
drawing a cut hand

we are bound
bewildered
and contorted
and straining
moving
our pieces around
passing them along
person to person
expert and novice
stranger and muse
trying to make them fit
hoping someone will have the answer
we are looking for
all the pieces
in my hand,
in your hand,
don't even
lock into place.
reminding me
that you cannot unbreak it
it doesn't matter
who broke it
or who owns it
just make it fit
or find your pieces stolen
accept imperfection
or suffer
internally
eternally
the black tide creeps up
bewildered
and contorted
and straining
moving
our pieces around
passing them along
person to person
expert and novice
stranger and muse
trying to make them fit
hoping someone will have the answer
we are looking for
all the pieces
in my hand,
in your hand,
don't even
lock into place.
reminding me
that you cannot unbreak it
it doesn't matter
who broke it
or who owns it
just make it fit
or find your pieces stolen
accept imperfection
or suffer
internally
eternally
the black tide creeps up
