Poems
Nov 2012
can i fix you?
Everything around me swirled
like ink in the rain
drastically surging waves crashing
against me, stringing what I couldn’t quite grasp
across my entirety
until I lay helpless, inside myself
because I had no idea
how to put your pieces back together
even if it was in my place to do so
even if you let me
I wanted to stitch you back to
someone who was happy
but I kept forgetting
how to understand
the world around me
as a stage and choreography
I knew that I wanted to blurt my next line
but the cue was never given
and all these things
wrapped ropes around me
choking my words
chaining them to my lungs
and I meant to try
but I just don’t
know
how.
*i’m sorry.
