I
You leave a part of you
Behind
On every broad shoulder
The light of an eye
A semblance of a smile
You gave yourself
Because you couldn’t help it
You needed to
Feel, he was worth
The risk
Pieces of the person you could have been
Left behind
With men
Who got the better of you
The best of you
Was it worth it
To feel, to give
So much
And be broken, in two
More fool you
II
Leave a part of yourself
In a pair of strong hands
A crinkle of an eye
The warmth of his smile
Pleased, to see you
Give a part of yourself
Because you should
Soften
Trust
Feel
Pieces of the person you will be
Kept safe
In the hands
Of men
With kind hearts
Leave yourself
In their care
Believe
In the idea
That you are someone worth loving
Unstuck Monsters
