piece of me

thought you looked past me, 
but really you were searching deep 
not really sure what you were expecting, 
because it couldn't be me. 

but you found a tiny piece of me,
and took it for safekeeping 
i never asked for it back
because i was just too numb to realize that 
the piece was more than i thought it was. 
and honestly, maybe a little of me,
wanted you to have it. 

it's nothing much, 
thought all the shards 
were specked with blood
covered with dirt-
the type of stains
that don't wash out.
but the piece of me was pure 
so automatically i assumed 
by some miracle i had 
never touched it. 
everything that has happened hadn't touched it 
but you taught me that 
i am not what has happened to me.
i still think you helped make it shine
or helped me acknowledge 
that i needed to clean it,
wash it all out 
out out out

now you have let go that piece of me,
returned it and charged no fee, 
and as i move on 
i hope you one day know, 
that you are someone worth staying for.
