I'm scared my soul might be
damaged beyond repair.
I cant feel it rattling
as the one small solid lump that I'm used to.
It jingles now
like a piggy bank holding just a few pennies.
Maybe some tape or Elmer's glue
or possibly that paste that kids eat in kindergarten
can help aide in my efforts to piece it together.
Puzzled.
Hold it together.
Tryna hold it together long enough to
pick up the pieces and put them back in
proper working order.
Impossible.
Never having seen before my eyes
what lies behind these eyes.
A soul so intangible.
Ever changing. Amorphous.
The pain is tangible.
Prick my finger on it's pointy edges.
Left index leaking cherry confessions.
Small drops sneaking into crystal cages
holding my spare change.
The copper turns pink now.
