My Caregiver Tore Me In Half, So Don’t Let My Organs Disturb You

No amount
of self-sought
fury will bring
back the glory
of innocence.

Well,
I've never
been innocent.

And so,
there is
nothing left
to do but
seek.

What's lost
is found,

and what's
found is
never good
enough.

So I guess you
better work
harder at washing
their blood off of 
your
hands—

and the blood
they spilt in an
attempt to taint
you.

Yet here 
I stand:
unmoved, 
and untainted.
