Fragmented Whole

I see myself 

getting lost in you

gradually,

methodically,

undeniably.

Now my fragments

of what I (am) used to be

are my only companions

-my reminders-

that somewhere in you

there is me

fighting its way out

Just like a sun ray

that's trapped in blocks

and blocks

and blocks

of cement

escapes from its smallest holes

Because there are holes in everything my dear

That's how I escape

That's how you sneaked in

---

Now I see you

Departing

Departing with myself still in you

Too shattered to ask back for it

You may have it my dear

You may have me 

I have already forgotten all about me

Yes we do dear Marina. We give everything away and we can't get it back.

You're becoming really deep. Even the title is complex. It's like no escape, cos you're irrevocably joined together. Stop being deep on a Monday.

I swear it's just a phase. Until I get over the a*****e. Then I'm back haha

Big stick usually does the trick.
Unless its me. lol

That's food for thought there. A baseball bat perhaps it's better?
