Give me myself back

Can I carve into you and pull myself out?

Somewhere there you hold me and

    its time for me to be whole again.

It’s time for the pieces you have

to make its way back to me.

 

I would aim for your heart, for

its what my soul craves, but if

that were within my reach then these tears

would not be escaping me.

I would be a fool to say that this was nothing but a phase,

but admitting to anything else

is beyond what I know.

 

You have no idea what you’ve done.

This unending injustice that occurs between me and you

is not your concern,

Yet is toxic to me.

I dream of a day where something, anything,

won’t remind me of you.

But these dreams become lost within the torturous hope

of a you and I.

 

Let me out of your chains because

I’ve tried and I can’t do it on my own.

I’ve lost control and I need you, so clueless,

to set me free.

To give myself back tO ME
