stitch me together my love

i wish that you could fix me,

stitch together my broken pieces

and glue all of the leftovers

into a masterpiece

created from beautifully broken and shattered

me.

i wish that you would be around to

hold me together

with an infinite amount of ductape

and spider's thread,

replacing every stitch i break through

when i just can't handle the world

and so i cut it away.

honey, i wish that i could be

sewn back together

and held together with your love,

but i'm married to these

razor blades

and i will forever be slicing through

my pale skin and, in turn,

all of your efforts to pull me back

together.

but keep stitching me together my love,

keep me from pulling at the seams

and breaking away

because i'm inches from the edge

of breaking.
