oh you
are broken?
as if you were
functioning so
recently

you are still
functioning
nothing broke
everything works

you were not
half of a whole
you have a
hole we
always do

your "you's"
make me queasy
"you" traps
contorts everybody
into a conformity
traditional
archaic

"you left me broken"
like a simile
of a fragile bird
or plain nature
please tell more
about that internal
fire
please

your heart beats
just the same
there is beauty
in you

so do not talk
to "you"
whoever "you" is
they are gone
and it is clear
"you" got inside
but they did not
break a thing
