a prayer for every broken heart a prayer for every sob that threatens to fill your throat as your eyes betray the flood rising in your chest a prayer for every stranger with track marks in their wasted forearms and eyes hollower than their stomachs a prayer for the weak, a prayer for the helpless, a prayer for the strong a prayer for every time he hit her and a prayer for every time she didn’t move an inch a prayer for the blood on the thighs of a girl who was torn by a drunken frat boy who never learned to hear “no" a prayer for every sin of the heart amen
