I would trade a piece of me to save a piece of you;
when a piece of you
is broken in two
and beyond repair,
I'll be there
to help you build a ship carved out of the edges of my heart,
so you can sail on my blood and tears
far away to somewhere safer than your hometown;
Where your own people are willing to strap you on to sticks
and desire
to set you on fire
till you burn--
I will be the one.
I would trade a piece of me to save a piece of you,
and it wouldn't matter if I am left in pieces too,
for as long as your peace is true,
I'd be happy as a fool.

Anxiety and Things that Shatter
Poetry"Anxiety, you are lightening and a thunder only I can hear. In my despair, you wear an intimidating smile like a glittering stretch mark on the skin of the horizon." Cover by @DeathsDarkSoul
