Inch
by inch
I will recover
myself
and the parts of me
that remain with you,
I will replace.
Cobbled together from
bubblegum,
hip shards.
Grafted onto
what is left
until I am something
not what I knew.

some “parts” of you and what was present in a past relationship might just need to be sloughed away like dead skin.
nice writing and vivid imagery.
Thank you. And yest those parts that I didn’t need were shed. I feel so much lighter!
