break

since
I’ve been here the whole time;
gathering the pieces up as they break off of you.
my small hands
make short work of these shards

my fingers
are (in)visible
prints
on your
shiny new skin.

  3. not as much of as a warning but as a reflection...

    I think that a cool idea for a tatoo.

    I just had been thinking of the mark that others leave on you and you on them, visible and invisible, among other things. I guess
