Taste

I know the taste of broken.
It lingers on my lips.
It's that hint of glass
That is there when we kiss.

I know that taste of broken 
Cause I was born with it.
It was in my bloodline
And in my father's fists.

I remember to taste the trauma
Right where my lips have split
Any time they talk of healing
And trying to close this rift.

And I remember the taste of screaming
As I smear my old lipstick 
With the back of the bruised hand
I wanted to hit back with.

I remember the taste of broken
And everything you did.
You made me out of scars
And I will never forget it.
