Fragmentation
Feelings of failure
bite deep into flesh
and I ache
for the box
with sharp things
inside
long ago sent away
into safekeeping
as the realization
comes
that the failing grade
in matters of the heart
is an F
not E for Effort
but F… for Failure
Twisting the Leaf 
Aww baby, you did not fail. You have not failed…
I love you, precious
We’re going to get through this
And seeing what you’ve been hiding for me, it helps
Even as it makes my need to protect you stronger, it still helps to have a glimpse into what you’re really feeling.
I love you. You haven’t failed, man. I’m still here…right here
And you will not being using sharp things.
I’m here love. I’ve got you. Even when things are chaos, I’ve got you
