each shard
      jealousy   possess iveness
   new   in vasive   questions
doubts of 
      loyalty and    affect ion

every barb
   and in sistence of my
      in eptitude   every thing is my
   fault

no matter  how gentle  your hand

   slices 

      ends in   tears

there’s not e nough

         left

   for gold solder

      to re
