A stranger told me he could "just tell" that I was broken.
I haven't stopped crying since.

I met love in a field of flowers
It sat alone in the sunlight.
“Can I sit beside you?”
I asked it.
And it nodded its head.
Its small hands folded softly in its lap.
“Do you ever get tired?”
I asked it.
And I heard it exhale.
“Can I sleep beside you?”
I asked.
And it nodded,
Resting its head next to mine.
“We’ll just close our eyes for a moment”
I said,
“Just long enough for the spinning to stop.”

I hope the flowers on the floor
Gave you a softer exit.

I sugar coated the abuse
Now everything tastes sweet.

Once you pick a flower
It's already dead.
But you still put it in a vase
And call it beautiful.

I don't know how to write about it and make it sound pretty.
I'm not sure it ever was.

I'm desperately worried that I'm ruined.
