[elainelorriemartin]

i never felt

people were lacking

before i’d even spotted a flag

always humans have

been so beautiful to me

i could fall into any

kind hand or gentle smile

but right now

i think you broke me

open a little more

than i once was the day

before.

and i’m so angry at you for it.
