the cripple on the corner

When it was all of us, not just you and me but all of them too, that was the only time I ever felt alive, complete. I guess it was like a team.

No, it wasn't. We were our own entity, together we made up a new being.

I'm made up of all of you. All the broken, chipped-off pieces. When you left, it felt like someone had taken my ears, my hands, my eyes.

I don't know if I can heal completely from this maiming.
