I see only pieces of myself.
Finger nails; bitten.
Words written across skin.
Ink bleeds; scars make tributaries.
Broken capiliaries, red.
Take bread; the flesh.
This is not a fresh perspective.
A perspective change.
Rearrange your reflection.
I see only pieces of myself.
Swollen lip; hit.
Pit in the stomach.
You made me a kaleidoscope.
Blurred images; look like past.
All passed-by.
It might have been you.
I heard; you spoke.
You broke me.
I see only pieces of myself.

the rhymes work really well , the stop start rhythm it's so clever even without the meaning, to evoke such a feeling of being in pieces! Found these particularly powerful
"you spoke.
You broke me."
