have patience with me darling i am tattered rags i am shredded linen ive sticthed myself piece by piece but i am stilled ragged at the edges Will you still love my brokenness Will you still caress my soul As if It where brand new Baby i am broken I am Hand me downs Given to the less fortunate One size too small One size too big But i can still satisfy I can still keep you warm On the cold nights when all you have is your bear skin Covering your shivering soul When your bones rattle together Darling I will unfold myself upon you Darling I will become your home When you are left out on the pouring rain But baby I am broken I won't guarantee that rain drops won't drip through From the holes left in me But we will gather pots and pans and collect the water dripping from me and turn it into holy water pure enough for us to drink

History
Close the gate behind me and open it in the morning when you wake up for breakfast, throw in a couple slabs of left over bread and watch me crawl to retrieve what you don't want, let me out and prop yourself on my back as i obey every command you spit at my feet. It's always been this way and I have little faith it will change. This dominion you have over me . Mother. You cage me up and put a nozzle on my lips . You attach strings to my limbs and maneuver me to your liking. But I'll take it I'll take it all and than some, for I am not weak. I'll take your belittling and your controlling and your anger and your pain. I'll lay it all in my shoulders and carry all the weight as if it where a part of me. I'll take it all mother and than some. I'll let you cage me up. But I won't let you break me. For these layers of bricks I've build around me is nothing compared to your cage your four walls and a roof my safe house is nothing compared to the blue sky's you paint around our little life. I've protected myself I've strengthened myself I've build this fortress around my self like calcium coating the bones that you made within me.

HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT
You cradle my heart in the palms of your hands the way that you make me love you is the type of love that sets fire works off in my chest. the type that screams in pain when you get even a tiny paper cut, I've watched you. Grow and bend and mold and suffer. I've watched you set your heart on fire for those that wont even set an ember ablaze for you. You're the purest form of life that there ever will be. what you touch revives from your embrace. When you shed just one tear entire worlds crumble inside me, when you weep my universe disintegrates completely. You are loved. You are cherished. You are Beautiful. You Will Forever Be My Muse.

You Will Forever Be My Muse
I savored the way you said i love you as if it was the last breath i would ever take Every time each syllable protruding out of your lips would leave me craving for more Every time as if you where my life support the IV attached to my veins giving me life Every time But when you left the bad after taste stayed in my mouth and all i wanted to do was spit it out

Write me a symphony with every beat of your heart. Paint a picture on my skin with your eyes. We are burning embers. We've set the world on fire. I'll sing you a lullaby with every sigh of my soul. i caress your mind. and watch. as the, stars align.

Loves Pure Song
You used to kiss me until I was drunk with your breath . You were my Gin straight from the bottle. I was your tap water. barely quenching your thirst. S.G

You left me . You left without a letter. You left without a goodbye. **** you came into my life without even saying hello. You didn't  introduce yourself, you barged in through the doors of my heart, and expected me to immediately make room for you, and so i did. I pushed things aside, and i swept under the rug. While you propped your feet on my back, i vacuumed myself up and cleaned myself up to please you. I became invisible, just for your liking. You would leave me vacant for days on end using my body as a time machine, and when you arrived back "Home" you expected a ******* sandwich and a beer. The day you left you turned me into an empty warehouse. You took everything. The fridge, the stove, the couch, the microwave;  And worst of all you didn't even sweep up the **** under the rug. I picked it up. I did. Putting myself back together one ***** piece at a time. And every day after that i visited the furniture store, finding pieces that complimented my soul better than the ones you took. I turned my warehouse into a castle. Perfect for the Queen who occupied it, all to herself. S.G
