[we take turns falling apart and putting back together]

jake fell apart and i tried
to piece him back together;
i tried to glue his heartstrings
back into place but he was very
broken and is still not quite whole

blake fell apart and i felt too
responsible to hold his hand while
he was putting back together;
now i don't know who he is but
i think he, too, has been left undone

adam fell apart before i knew him
and was still in broken pieces;
i tried to put together
the pieces i could find but i
could not find them all and he is
still falling apart, i think

and i have been falling apart without
realizing it and the fragments are
getting crushed to smaller pieces
as days turn into weeks turn into months
and i wonder if i will go back together
