To all my broken pieces
I’m sorry that I worked you
Until you f e l l a p a r t
I’m sorry that I worked you
Until you s p r e a d o u t o n t h e f l o o r
I’m sorry that I worked you
Until you couldn’t anymore.
To all my broken pieces
I’m sorry that I yelled
Until you couldn’t speak
I’m sorry that I yelled
To make you something you couldn’t be.
I’m sorry that I yelled hatred
Until you didn’t know love anymore
To all my broken pieces
I’m sorry that I hated
Most of all I’m sorry
That now you feel it all
Or too deep to fall.
