Last night was a true clusterfuck.
This morning, she’s thinking about taking a class
Act.
Flashbacks of a child making desperate promises she can’t keep
Pray.
She learned there was no one who really cared
Naked.
A victim of conditioned responses or lack thereof killing Heidi off
Halo.
Inextricably separate, forever grieving the loss of her
Forgiveness.
When all it takes is to swallow it down whole and roll
Die.
Does she know how much it hurts?
