#broken pieces

You’ll get cut on my broken pieces and though I don’t mean to, you will certainly bleed. I don’t want to hurt you, in fact it is usually as I try to protect you from my own brokenness and jagged edges when you will. Don’t hold onto me too tightly, your palms will come away aching, bloodied and scarred. Believe me when I tell you that I’m not ready. I am not capable. I am not to be loved, because in this state I know my capabilities and though I don’t want to I will leave you less whole than when I found you.
