i'm the bone that you broke
that never quite healed
the same way again
familiar
yet slightly out of place
then you asked for a storm
to break you in a familiar way
so i gave you silence
and it was more
than you could ever take
i write so much about grasping
at things i can't hold onto
like your hand
since it's been slightly out of place
and now i'm not sure
if i've been talking about you
or myself
they told me that the ink on the page
would replace you eventually
but i think i'm writing in your blood
and once the poetry
is out of my system
my veins will dry up
and i'll look just like you
