mostly black and blue me and you
we have tried many times to be new
is it me not working right
and not just you?
we came to a spluttering stop and our light slowly faded out.

i am sorry you are broken i am sorry for your hurts and burdens
but your hurts have made new wounds in me.
instead of banking your pain you have spread it.
you were wrong.
and i was wrong to stay.
collecting battle scars like i wanted them.
