Make You Whole
Can you forgive me my honesty
that stunned you into silence,
hurled you further into your
self-absorbed world,
rattled your reality?
If it cannot be righted
I do not want it forgotten
or lumped away in your attic
left for dead,
I want it out here somewhere
where it can be the angry, hurt,
confused, bleeding thing that
it is.
I want to be the woman who
shakes you so hard that your
broken pieces find each other
and you become whole.
