learn to explain

by Olivia Weinkein

it's a shame you had to dirty it up.
Everything and no, i can't be any
more specific than that. my thoughts

will not allow me and my hands threaten
to murder something, namely me if i
let them go and explore a future with

namely you who can no longer see me
as something worth anything more than
an occasional excuse. but it's okay, it's

alright, i know how to keep myself safe
sometimes from Everything that threatens
to dirty me up and no, i can't be any more

specific than that.

Author's Note: a lil more specific than it would have you believe.

I like the reiteration of ...i can't be any more specific than that.... it really drives the theme home.
