[stardusttides]

i'm turning inside out.

Everything is spilling out of me,

I'm scrambling to gather myself back up.

Trying to put the pieces together,

but they no longer fit.

Everything is different.

Everyone seems to notice the stitches in my seams.

I smile and say nothing at all, hoping they'll believe i'm the same.

just as before.

But the knots are unraveling and i can't keep them together,

I don't want to..

Will pulling the thread tear open everyone else?

I'm tying off my sutures with scissors that will cut him open.

I'll leave him bleeding, to pack his own wounds

He will live with scars to tell the story of us.

I will be the patchwork of someone else
