Someone broke me
when I wasn't looking
someone broke me
and hid my pieces in air
so I search with every breath
what my other pieces are
where my other pieces went
Someone broke me
and kept it a secret
Now everything I find
could be me
so I carry on illusions
and drop off memories
I run to places I should have walked to
Someone broke me
and forgot that they did
And I, forgot who did
So I’m here
looking everywhere
for me
