“Stay away” He said
“Everything in my path is falling apart, and I’m trying
To do all I can to stop the pieces from touching you”
It’s a quote he probably heard from an Indie movie
The words seemed too poetic
Even for his lips
Acting was his fad, but it was mine too
I can distinguish
The real, the raw
From the staged
He often said, rehearsed
The sweetest of lines
Whispered into my neck
Like airless lullabies
That nestled into the pores of my skin
Etching into me
Promises of a lasting love
So I say to him, I’ve already been touched
The broken pieces are going to live inside me forever
