Just Fine

Ticking inside my chest are the wind up parts I tried to piece together - taken from broken toys, long forgotten -    the pieces I started to collect the moment I felt the hollow space open inside my chest, pushing aside the blood and bones and heart that I thought I needed -

So I built my heart from  the parts he gave me -  from the words and kisses that I crystalized into malfunctioning cogs in a machine I have yet to finish - 

But that space kept expanding until my skin was nothing more than a white sheet - like a  ghost, I drifted along, shaking at every gust of wind that touched me - 

And when they touch me I still shiver, because nothing works quite the way it should, with missing screws and  chains, clinking, turning -
