• We are broken,

    our hearts are shattered like a bloody mirror.

    Our minds are twisted and bent

    like the metal of a mangled car.

    We are broken,

    and we break apart little by little,

    with every unwanted touch,

    with every poisonous word,

    every cut, bruise, and welt we encounter.

    We are the broken,

    and our hearts will bleed

    until the scarlet pieces

    are picked up off the floor.
