i thought i would be broken forever
but i am learning to exist in the spaces
between light and dark, strength and need
i think you shot me up with a tender poison
double dose, you are in my veins, still
and i can't talk about it
i can't talk about it

if i could i would drain all my blood
erase the disease from my skin
but you will linger in the emptiness left,
just as always.

i am frail
you grabbed hold of my bones and left me
wreckage

i am not broken forever
i am learning to exist

i am not broken forever
i am learning to exist
