if we ran away together, we'd only be running away
by Olivia Weinkeini wish i could recognize you
with your torso swaying helplessly from one
contradiction to the next.
all of these mistakes you've made do not
define you.
but for the last seven days i have been trying to find a way
around them.
seems we truly cannot find it within ourselves to overlook
all things.
the mud that clings to our shoes.
eyes that cannot keep from looking
away.
