the piano is devastating,
and the lyrics heartbreaking,
but i feel seen.
i feel seen
at a time i wish i could see
those i haven’t seen
since they saw me
fight that fight
ten years ago.
and ten to the six is a million,
a million little pieces of my heart
that i instinctively want as art
on the arm i never thought
i’d cover.
i feel seen,
and for the first time,
maybe i don’t need to see
those old white lines
to know
that it was real.
