pieces

11.

she gave herself away

in pieces.

at first they were small

and hesitant,

but over time

confidence grew;

comfort grew;

they grew

and small pieces

became large chunks.

she gave and gave

until there was nothing

left to give

and her chest

became completely

empty;

the pieces of herself

settling between

those of others

that ever crossed

her path

and she was left

a hollow girl.
