My tongue has been broken
Bleeding in a darkened mouth
I'm choking down red flow
My bitter teeth chattering
Cold damp fingers wrap around
Puzzle pieces scattered across
The floors and ceilings of this
World waiting to be placed
In an order other than chaos
But the picture is so much bigger
Than I can see with gray sky eyes
Overtaken by confusion I place
My swollen mouth on my knees
Tasting dirty skin with cracked
Lips and ripping at my flesh
Hating myself for not knowing
What to do for the first time
Locked in this room of shattered
Dreams and sharp stained glass windows
Making mosaics out of the cuts on my
Body draining blood along the lines
Where moments became a lifetime
Of not knowing where I'm going
Floating into the unknown abyss
My feet nearly touching the ground
My hands brushing against the stars
Fingertips stroking my cheeks with
Red not quite paint
I'm gone again not knowing what path I'm taking
Just hoping to see you on the other side
