broken
hoping to be
found

mended
hoping
to be hurt

hoping
to get
the attention
that it brings

hoping
I have something left
to give
when I am again
a lover

meaning it
being nothing else
bones free

bones free
of those things to do
that are never done

the freedom
that drives betrayal

and
the strongest loyalty
all
the same

broken
hoping

broken
hoping to be

broken
hoping to be
found

hoping
for sun

hoping to shine

in the mirror

and in your memory

hoping
I am to others
half
of what I want to be

hoping
I can be
and mean
so much

hoping
I have
built

rather
than taken

knowing
I have tried

and that this
like life

will end

never knowing

the whole truth

and
nothing
but.
