THE GATE

my healed chestwound
transformed into a gate
where i receive love from
where i give love from
and i
care for you
i care for you

Split into many parts
splattered light beams into prisms
that will reunite
if you

care for me
and then i’ll care for you

didn’t used to be so needy
just more broken than normal
proud self sufficiency
my silhouette is oval
it is a gate
i can

care for you from

i care for you
you care for me
