“I broke myself for you
I unhinged my mind
I untangled
my deepest thoughts
To love you
Better
I punched and pulled and screamed
Until I was down on the floor
Bloody and shaking
And waiting
For you to
Pick me
Up
Two broken hands reaching high
Toward your face
I told you I was better
I was stronger
I was healthy
Now
How can you tell me I was toxic
When I sucked out all
The poison
Myself.”
