Cut + Strung

I scream and I flail.

My wounds cry out for attention.

My heart is severed in two.

My body; this violence; cut and strung

Out and unprotected, raw

My arms grasp for something, the pain is too deep.

I cannot express, I cannot express.

I see you watching me, I see you calming me, but I won’t calm.

I want to, oh so deeply, I long to

Will calm ever come?

Jagged edges, inexpressible sorrow

Rocking instability are waves of anger

My body; this violence; cut and strung
