and just like that

i made it through days of letting go

[take a deep breath, girl

you've only a lifetime to go]

friends call, visitors ask

i say, ‘i’m fine’.

and i will be too,

as soon as i find the switch 

to turn off my mind

because its not the bandages

or the stitches that matter

its my heart inside, that they can’t see 

that’s completely shattered
