broken
i’m bigger than i look,not as strong as i seem.
although i can lift heavy machinery;
from time to time,
if need be.
I’m not asking you
to install my
air conditioner
look in my eyes,
when i’m broke inside
and fix me.
it’s august again
it comes around each year for the sentimental appeal.
I don’t always heal,
so I write my own endings, from time
to time
if need be
last night in my dream
i was drowning
beside a boat with my name at the seam
of plastic and sea
although in your will, you left it for me
i couldn’t seem to reach
my hand inside
and like
your chances at forgiveness
i washed away with the tide
if i'm broken inside,
if i'm broken inside.
