raze&rebuild

razed
i break like the glass castle
i fight so hard not to be

broken
so many times by you
broken bones, broken spirit

breaking even
either way you go
what you do and wont

even when i think
i couldn't possibly
break any more.

plaster love

a heart made of plaster
cheap, chipped
shiny
while i sang away for you, day & night
pretending it was sturdier ware

then, true to form,
it gave out

cracked, crumbled
dust
what i have now is nothing

and that fits too
