How do you build
A bridge from ashes
Do you mix it in
With blood and eyelashes
And when the dam starts to break
Because the rains fills the lake
Will it hold strong
Or will it all just float away
How do you mend
Broken appendages
Some gauze, a splint
Prayers and well wishes
And when the pressure builds up
And your brain starts to erupt
Am I something to you
Other than a crutch
