I
am half-built...

Today I am empty
all I hold is...

I thought I was
safe...

if
I had to...

What is it
I'm afraid you'll see...

Scars fade.
Sometimes...

I will not be afraid
of closing the binding...

Hold me
like I'm broken...

like being erased.
like being snuffed out...

Fluorescent lights are strewn
across the ceiling...

Somehow
in the silence...

What happens to pain
that never dissolves...
