I Am Broken
His words are like broken glass against my skin
I know now where the end begins
For so long I was blind
And so wrong for some time
I am broken
But it's over now
And it all starts with this vow
Self-Examination
Has led to this proclamation
Of feminine freedom
How dare you touch my face
And hurt my heart
And burn the ability to taste
From my soul and
Replace it with this emptiness you
Call love
Call love, then – I'll dial the number
See if love's gonna be on your side
Like time
When you try to explain yourself
In your voice like hot thunder
Like a village plundered
Like my heart torn asunder
I'm sorry love,
But
Take your jagged glass words
And your rock-like fists
And your monotony of verbs
And your broken promises
And your second-rate kisses
And your half-baked wishes
And those unwanted nocturnal visits
Pack them in a suitcase
And remember this part
Love has dismissed you from my heart
Don't look back because you won't find me
I am so far above and beyond you that
You can't see me
Let alone keep me
It's because I'm free now, see?
