When She Loved Me

When she loved me...
 I was small and vulnerable and

 my words were merely whispers

When she loved me...

I was broken, twisted, skewed

lost beneath the rubble, decimated, hewn

When she loved me...

I was partial, shadowed, hollowed

indefinite, undefined, hidden behind

When she loved me...

I was inside out, upside down, blind

wasted, forlorn, bleeding soul into skin


When she loved me...
I was the Other version of me
coiled, spoiled, foiled


When she loved me...
I could not escape
  prisons,  profound, configured 


When she loved me...
I was love come undone
unfolding, unknowing, ever flowing


When she loved me...
I  was bound to a million breaths
perfectly placed, unevenly spaced, without a place


When she loved me...
