Disassembled.

Regrowth.

I want you to know how ruthlessly

You disassembled me, and just

How much bravery it took

To regrow my heart, piece

Myself together;

The strength it took

To find out

How to

Breathe

    Attempting to learn about the different types of poetry that they have on Vocal. Beautiful poem Poppy about how someone just ripped you apart emotionally and how much effort it took to put yourself back together again. Beautifully written. I will attempt this type of poetry. Thank you for the encouragement by writing this.
