No. Let me fall apart.
Let me crash and shatter like precious China
That my mother would never take out of the cupboard.
Let me break and become a kaleidoscope of colour.
I just need to know that you'll be there for my metamorphosis.
When my broken bones and punctured lungs pull themselves back together,
When tendons crunch and grind in the agony of pulling themselves together
Much like a werewolf turning human,
Forming new human parts and a stitched up heart.
I just need to know you'll be there for my metamorphosis.
You don't need to not let me fall apart.
Let me fall. I can catch myself.
I just need to your hand is there to hold.
I just need to know that even if there is no rainbow,
And even if this storm never ends,
And I never learn left from right, 6 from 9,
You'll still be there in the end.
A loving witness till our deaths end.
