Cup your hands together
and catch each
and every one
of my fragmented words.
Hold them
and piece them together
into beautiful paragraphs
because I've become
so broken
and you deserve
to be whole.
So please don't fill my
empty soul
with pieces of you
and don't convince
me to allow you to stay.
Take this jagged goodbye
and remember me
as the hopeful person
I once was
not the futile soul
I've become.
