What if you stayed
Whole
Instead of becoming
Broken
Pieces of you lost
To the dark corners you don’t see
Part of your roots
Cut off at the seam
To time
Becoming fickle
What’s in a memory?
Lost to your mind
Fragments
Unwind
Your heart doesn’t beat
the same
It was stitched back
Together
With your own pain
So it forgot
My name
But what if you
Had stayed?
