my dear, fragile heart;
somehow you turned into elastic
stretching to meet the demands of their needs.
somehow you went from whole
perfectly bonded at every nerve and vascular tissue
to a shattered, slowly pulsating deformity
somehow you leaned into them
conforming to their standards and values
you let yourself become engulfed in the revilements they had to offer.
