When I accept my grey
I have placed youIn a box marked broken
The shards cannot cut me nowSlivers beneath my skinCausing festering postulationAre avoided
I can shake itBut there is silence,
Still
Each piece cocooned in woolSafe in their distancingFrom one another
Maybe some dayWhen I accept my greyI will unwrap the me you brokeAnd piece it with the boxed you
The glued mendingResembling in silhouetteWhat our coupling could have been
Only then
Can I mourn for you
The shards cannot cut me nowSlivers beneath my skinCausing festering postulationAre avoided
I can shake itBut there is silence,
Still
Each piece cocooned in woolSafe in their distancingFrom one another
Maybe some dayWhen I accept my greyI will unwrap the me you brokeAnd piece it with the boxed you
The glued mendingResembling in silhouetteWhat our coupling could have been
Only then
Can I mourn for you
