I cried so much last night
I’m taking myself back
All the good parts
That I built up but then lost
I did them for you
Now I’ll do them for me!
Bring back the parts that I
Manufactured in the hope
That it would mean more for us
A disciplined construction in a
Scaffolding of emotional security
That will mean something for me
All of the experiences I wanted
To have for us but were impossible
Could be had even without you
My life is not on hold
A spirit that’s beautifully different
Must fly even without validation
The price we pay to leave the
Best parts of ourselves behind
Is an arm and a leg
