i want to know

what it feels like

to love me,

all of me

 

not just the tailored edges

on full display —

 

but the cracking innards

that recoil

from the sun,

shaking

 

i want to know

how anyone

could love

something constantly shattering

 

i want to know

why

 

can you tell me

why

you love me,

even now?
