We need these touches, to remind us we’re alive
to cling to another body and breathe in that touch
to hold together our broken pieces
with a sticky cellophane embrace.
When we fear that feeling of falling and fading
Us broked up people need someone to hug us
reminding us we’re real. Holding on to us
for that small moment of mattering.
(co-written with some of R’s words.)
The line "Us broked up people need someone to hug us" was from my friend Raychul. She is also someone with borderline and addiction.
