Dear Lover,

Please, cuddle me
sometimes I like to be held
sometimes

I know I fall apart
but I don’t remember what it feels like
to be whole anymore
I used to be whole before
love happened
and I snipped off a bit of my soul
a gift to each lover
and he and he and he
always kept the receipts
love-back guarantees
but never returned the gifts I gave

so I am
incomplete     me
in fragments, pieces
I think I used to be a beautiful whole
but I’m not sure anymore
since I’ve been trimmed to a melody

cuddle me, sing our song
complete our score

I don’t remember
how it feels      to be
whole      anymore
